Before the 1980s, stillborn babies were taken away from families who were not given any details of what happened to their babies or where they were buried. Gina Jacobs from Wirral found the grave of her baby son 53 years after he was stillborn at Landican cemetery in Birkenhead. The 79-year-old named him Robert. Since then she鈥檚 gone on to help other bereaved mothers to find more than 60 babies at her local cemetery.
