Burial - William Alfred Lewis - 1908 - Bream

Hi
There is an entry in the burials for Bream for a William Alfred Lewis, who died aged 3 hours. Buried 6 March 1908. Would there be any other details on these records to find out who his parents were or would I have to obtain the death certificate?
I am almost sure he was a son of my Great Grandparents, William Alfred Lewis and Flossie Preest.
Any help would be great.
Nicky

Usually the parents are named on the Birth Certificate, as William Alfred was so young they may be named on the Death Certificate, perhaps one of the other Members could advise you about that

Hello Nicky - I noticed on the website that William Alfred Lewis and Flossie Preest are your direct ancestors. William is actually my fourth cousin once removed. Regards - June
