In the East Cemetery burials there is an entry for 18 May 1883, stating that an unknown child had been found in a 3rd class carriage at Bedlington Station. Here's the story behind the burial:
Morpeth Herald, 2 June 1883:
"On the 17th ult., an inquest was held at Amble, before Mr George E. Watson, coroner for North Northumberland, on the body of a child unknown. On the 12th ult. a parcel was found in a railway carriage at Bedlington Station, bearing the address of "Mr Gibson, Cemetery, Amble, Northumberland," and on the 15th ult. it was despatched to Mr Gibson, who, undoing the outer covering, discovered a hat-box. Being suspicious that there was something serious to be disclosed, he sent for Police-Sergeant Stoker, and in his presence the contents of the box were investigated, and therein was found the dead body of the child above-mentioned. The inquest was adjourned until Wednesday, to allow Dr Currie making a post mortem examination. On Wednesday, at the adjourned inquest, the medical testimony showed that the child was matured and well developed, and on the 17th ult. had been dead about six days. It had had a separate existence, and had lived from two to four days, and death had been occasioned by violence, there being marked evidence of suffocation internally and externally. A verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown was returned, and the coroner stated he would apply to the Home Secretary to offer a reward."
How sad is that, so grave V/105 holds the remains of an unclaimed baby.
