I have just received the death cert for my g grandmother; the cause of death was Placenta Praevia at 8 1/2 months. |

The baby will have died sadly - this means the placenta was across the cervix, and as labour went on she would have haemorrhaged. It's a dangerous condition even today and to ensure survival of mother & baby a Caesarian section would be performed. |

I was a midwife and we dreaded placenta praevia. I doubt very much the baby will have survived, it would have been stillborn I'm afraid so the birth would not have been recorded. |

It might be worth looking for the burial record for your g grandmother. There may be notes there re. her being buried with her newborn child. |
