As an update -a lady from a breavement service has said that ALL deaths are public information and once dead you are no longer granted the rights of privacy of a living person......this includes stillborn children she has said.....youalso have access to thier address at time of birth....just not allowed toknow details of their next of kin.I was surprised to say the least.

I was going to ask the same question! I have 2 stillbirths that Im CERTAIN took place but can find no record of. One was in c1928, the other in 1880.

Rebekah, You won't find any record at all of the one born 1880. The one born in c1928 would depend on how accurate your date is. The will be nothing before 1927 and since registration only came in in 1927 for stillbirths, I'm sure there were a lot still not registered for quite a while until people got used to having to register them. But only the parents or siblings can get the information from the GRO. Kath. x

In my local library-their are a lot of stillbirths entered for the 1920's on the burial records fiche-so if you knew the area and went through the different denominational burial records you may find something.
