Family History Beginners Board / Re: Need a little help with a death,maybe a stillborn?

Thanks for the welcome.
I was born in 1953, so I would have expected to find some sort of record of my twin. I have no information about it as my parents who passed away some years ago would not talk about it, and there are no other family members around who might know.
I think it was a very distressing time for them as my Mom only thought she was having one baby. I was born and then they realised there was another, which was eventually born dead. The hospital said it was stillborn, her GP said the cause of death was delayed delivery.
I think I will probably try and ring the GRO tomorrow and see if they can help.
