There are dead unknown newborn babies in all
local D. registers including several in fairly recent
times buried together in the Borough Cemetery [with tombstones & MI's ] So despite the 'village'
community it has always been possible for a few
girls / women to conceal pregnancy & even delivery. Are there records of live foundlings?? There was one
such case at Ramsey where a baby was rescued just in time by children playing in a wood & all are
still alive. I know that there have been some mothers
& babies found & helped .
