My husband was born in 1948, he knows that his twin brother was stillborn although his parents didn't give any details, I cannot find either the birth or death of this child, does anyone know whether stillbirths had to be registered in 1948? Cherryl |

If you go to the GRO website there is a full explanation about stillbirths, they are entered in a seperate register & only the next of kin can access the details. http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ Georgina. |

If you husband's parents are still alive only they can access the stillbirth record. However if they are deceased, your husband, as a sibling, can apply for the record. You would need to contact the General Register Office at Southport, as there is a special form to fill in to apply. Kath. x |
