The Bethany Mother and Baby Home Survivors Group has claimed there are 37 children buried in Mount Jerome Cemetery who were never included in the original death toll.

A memorial carrying the names of 222 Bethany children who were buried in an unmarked grave at Mount Jerome cemetery between 1922 and 1949 was unveiled in 2014.

But now the Survivors Group claims they have uncovered the names of 37 MORE children who died in the Protestant-run Home and are buried in Mount Jerome- but aren’t included on the memorial.

And they fear there are scores more.
