Thanks Angela much appreciated. Elaine.

Hi Angela,

So, am I correct in thinking then that because mine was a 1908 stillbirth there will be no stillbirth certificate? If there is then as the current surviving ancestor, could I apply for a copy?

Regards

Glynn

There will not be a birth or death certificate.

I have spoken to a colleague at the Register Office and the stillbirth certificate is required for a funeral to take place.

Hi Angela,

Thanks for the reply. You state on a previous post:

"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."

I can provide in writing the details required, but because this death and burial was in 1908, would a stillbirth Certificate exist?
And also, I am not the parent or sibling I am the oldest living relative so could I apply?

Regards

Hi Glynn



No certificate will exist.

Stillborn children were not regitered before 1927
