Who knew Jelly Babies were referred to in Victorian times as 'Unclaimed Babies'? Not me, until today.
"Unclaimed babies were a part of life back then - people would leave them on church steps and it's possible that people even found the name amusing," he said.
An odd history with the wars too, as for a while they were called Peace Babies.
