What was the grandparent's names?
Not always but often they will say "male" or "female" born to and and the date but not much more. Also unfortunately infants were not treated with burials like adults with crude or no headstones. So unless you find a birth listing or a family bible that names the child, then you may be out of luck or by chance the child lived for a year or two and listed in census. Sillborns are hard to trace.
