stillborn twin

[endalow]

A friend off mine (60years old) is wanting to know how she can find out what happened to her stillborn twin.
Would he have been registered i.e birth or death certificate

Does she know what hospital she was born at or where she was registered? Im sure if she contacted one or both, they would be able to give her some information.

If your friend knows where her own birth was registered, there is a good chance the death was registered at the same place.

All still born babies are buried and their grave registered at the hospital where they were born. If your friend gets in touch with the hospital they should be able to say where the grave is, but your friend needs to know that the baby's grave will be a simple plot which has been allocated a serial number, there will be no name.

the stillbirth register began on the 1st July 1927, and the registers will now be at the local register office, certificates cost the same as any others �7 I think now, The child may onloy appear in the birth registration index as male or female and the surname, in the death index the baby may also not have a name, just male or female againsty the surname, but the birth certificate will give a time of birth, as should your friends, as time of birth was included on multiple birth registrations, the reference number may also
be the exact previous or subsequent one to your friends, as the births may well have been registered together, and certainly the stillbirth had to be registered within 6 weeks
