     I wonder how I would go about getting any documentation of my sisters still birth now.?? This happened in about 1945, so there are no parents alive, or their siblings.  My mother was upset over the event and it was a terrible time for all concerned.  She told me all the details of the event but never mentioned a registration.
     Any suggestions???

     My fathers mother died a few days after childbirth and the baby died a day or two around the time.  The baby boy had a separate coffin and funeral. My father was 6 years old at the time and was always under the impression that the baby was in the coffin with his mother.  I found out differently when I contacted the cemetery office.


     The baby boy had a birth and death certificate but with no  christian name on just "boy".

I suggest, if you still live near to the place where he is buried,   go to the registration office and   tell them the information  about name and dates and the circumstances, and ask them to look in the register  for a birth and a death  with just a few days  between them.

Alternatively.   look up on findmypast.co.uk  in the date and year  for  the surname  and   no first name  just listed as boy,   then look to see  if there is a death recorded at about the same time  for no first name and age zero.

You might find local cemetery records useful - the town cemetery where most of my ancestors were buried has many records of still birth burials.

Yes.   And the  baby section of the cemetery  tends to have its own little area, because they only need small plots.
