	Wales and England have the same system. If the child was stillborn their will be no birth cert but the stillbirth will be in the stillbirth register http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/stillbirths/ Roy

When I applied for my mother's birth certificate (in Cheshire) I learnt that if a child is of multiple birth then the time of birth is indicated on the certificate. I believe my father (born N. Wales) was a twin, but his twin either died at birth or was stillborn. I don't actually need my father's birth certificate as I have all relevant details - but as I haven't been able to trace his twin via BMD I wonder if this would show up on my father's birth certificate. Does anyone know if Wales had a similar system to Cheshire - and how it would a apply if one twin was stillborn.
