I had twins prematurely @26 weeks in 1977 just after we married.
In those days they did not try to resuscitate them at that age and so they were taken away to be me buried in The Angel's Plot. I was 22 and thick.
I thought all these years that they were all just stillborns in there unnamed. Heard they were re-vamping the cemetery and all babies were registered:
So emailed - and got this back today:
I have the records here for your baby boys, both of whom are buried in IJ 29.5 St Patricks Section. The date they were buried was 10/10/1977. I can send the records on to you by email if you so wish, and if you gave them Christian names, I can put them in on the records too, we were only supplied with surnames from the maternity hospitals.
If you wish to visit the grave, you can come in to museum reception with the above grave number and we will direct you to the grave. You can also mark the grave with a marble heart plaque or teddy bear if you so wish and I can send you details of how you do this at a later stage.
Regards,
Lynn

Morning Molly and all!
So sad to hear about the babies, Satz. I suppose the hospital staff in those days thought that taking the babies away immediately would make it easier for the parents. I hope you and Mr S decide to visit the graves. Closure, perhaps? (Another word I dislike, but still use.)
Rox - any better today?
It's Friday, the wind has died down, I'm going to take Sweetest Puppy for a looooooooooooooooong walk (thanks for the borrowed oooooooooooos, JC) and then let nose make contact with grindstone.
14 October 2013 was the first day of the best days of my life!

Morning campers.
Thanks for the kind words my loverlies
So long ago about babies.
We never discussed it - Irish men don't. Well mine for sure doesn't.
Mr S was not there that day - and I came out and it was never discussed - but that's ok.
Probably better in hindsight it is left in the past-dwelling on these things does no good for anyone.
Yes Dreams I will visit the grave - have been threatening to do the tour in this particular place fr years now.
So many famous historic people + my 2 are buried there.
