Does anyone know: If twins were born, one stillborn and the other live would they have been registered separately.

If separately, can anyone have access to the birth register of stillborn and where is it to be found please.

The birth register is for live births only.
Still born babies are on a still birth register and only family can access this.
Go to www.gro.gov.uk click into still births and it will explain it.
Hope this helps.

This is copied from the GRO website

Due to the sensitive nature of stillbirth registrations, the procedure for ordering a certificate of the entry differs from other types of certificates. We will only send out the application form after we have been contacted by phone or in writing by the mother or father (if he is named on the certificate). In cases where the parents are deceased, a brother or sister can apply if they can provide their parents’ dates of death.
