Sorry to but in Emmybaby, I know it's a long shot, but Barnsley Hospital Prem Baby Unit Records Dept., may have records still, maybe it's worth a try.

Unfortunately prem babies weight can vary a great deal. My second daughter was 6 weeks prem but still weighed 7lb 6 ozs her full term sister weighed 10lb 4ozs. Both their father and I were big babies. Was your son a big baby?

Researching:
Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL

Just an idea - did anyone put your grandson's birth announcement in the local newspaper?

Parents often publish babies' birth weights

Hi love.

Hope you are ok altho I guess if you are up at this time, you are stressed out. Sadly, I can't think of any way the information of your grandson's brith weight would be accessible to you.

Stay positive, can chat week beginning 26th if you want, or this coming Friday evening to 10pm

take care
