My gran had twins. One was born alive and the other was still-born. Would the stillborn one be registered anywhere. The other twin died at 1 day, so I have her birth and death, but don't know if there's any info out there. This was in the 1930's. Any help would be much appreciated!!

Yes, stillbirths were registered from 1927. This is 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. The cost of the certificate is £7." For more info, look at http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/stillbirths/ nell
