Hi, do you get a birth certificate if a child is still born or just a death certificate? |

I think there is a special register that is only open to the parents - look on the GRO website - it gives details |

neither Im afraid. the Stillborn register was started in the 1920,s think it was 1927, and is only open to parents or siblings if both parents have died. that is the only register for a stillborn.prior to that no record is available . |

Ok. My brother died in about 1965/66 but rumours say he was still born but others say he lived a few hours. He was buried in the hospital where he was born apparantly but I don;t know where. |

If he was buried at the same hospital where he was born, that sounds to me as if he was stillborn. |

A stillbirth is only registered if the foetus is more than 28 weeks. It may have changed in the last 20 years though with viability of very premature babies increasing. |

Just checked and Stillbirths can now be registered from 24 weeks. Prior to this date it is classed as a miscarriage |

my mum had stillborn child in 1968, and I spoke to the person in charge of the local cemetarys at the local council, I gave him all the details I could, she had him at 6 months, in hospital, and what my parents names were, he then went and checked for me, and he told me the area he was buried in, plus my parents old address, he doesn;t have a plot of his own, but now I know where he is when I visit my grandparents grave I also make an effort to go and lay something for him too, because I agree with a lot of the above, he was part of me. |
