Damn. From what I know none of the distant grandmothers I’ve researched died of complications related to child birth. I know what you mean about children though. My great grandmother came from a family of eight and only her and her two younger brothers survived childhood. And sadly she herself only lived to be 45. My grandmother was only ten when it happened.

If a woman died of an illegal abortion that was not listed on the death certificate. Unless the family kept records there is no way to know.
