Babies were buried at night, often by the father or grandfather of the baby. Mothers were not allowed to hold their babies or to be present at the burial. Often mothers lived and died not even knowing where their babies were buried.
A new organisation called HUG Hidden in Unconsecrated Ground
has been set up in Ireland to keep a record of these unofficial burial grounds. Toni Maguire from Queens University, Belfast has documented 100 Cillini in County Armagh alone. This practice of the burial of unbaptised babies in Cillini continued in Ireland until the 1970's.
This is the story of My invisible brother Michael
If you are aware of any unofficial burial grounds/Cillini, in Ireland please comment below and I will pass on the information to Toni.
