I have a relative who is believed to have had a baby in 1850/1 - I can find no trace of this baby. Is there any way of finding out if it was a still birth? |

If it was a stillbirth then no record would be found as the stillbirth registers didnt start till 1927. |

Parish burial registers might record the burial of the baby, although often such babes were just placed in with an adult and buried at the next available funeral. |

I'm in touch with descendent of the father and his 3rd wife in Australia - the story has been passed through the generations - could be wrong but would be interesting to find out. |
