"B/T" in South Africa, Johannesburg—Cemetery Records, 1840–2019
Hi all, I've been indexing the South Africa, Johannesburg—Cemetery Records, 1840–2019 records and noticed "B/T" or sometimes just "BT" preceding a name. It seems to denote some child burials. Couldn't find an answer for it in the project instructions and Google doesn't help. What does this stand for, and should it be included in the indexed given name or ignored?
Thank you :)
