Tiger-Lily Report 27 Oct 2007 22:20

I have only recently been told that my dad was born a twin and that his sister died at birth/was still born. Would the details of the baby girl have to be registered somewhere? Would she have been named do you think?
Is there any way that I could verify this?
My dad was James Briley born on 22nd February 1927 in Camberwell, SE London.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

If there was a twin, she has not been registered on the normal GRO as I have checked. However, if she was stillborn she could be on the stillborn register.

Obtaining Stillbirth Certificates

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.

Opening hours: Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm GMT (excluding bank holidays) and Saturday 9am to 4pm GMT.
