still born birth

Have you looked for a burial?

For example, a lot of burials I've seen either in parish or municipal records are recorded as "the stillborn child of" plus the parents names.

Stillbirths are recorded in England & Wles after 1927, the index is not publicly available so researchers look for burials when a stillbirth has been mentioned.

In England and Wales stillbirths are registered but they are on a seperate register which isn't available for public viewing

And yet in England there is issued instead a Stillbirth Certificate. I have a copy of my brother's from 1958.

I know of stillbirths in Scotland & only death certs. are issued to the parent(s), there is no birth recorded, no birth cert.

The procedure for registering a stillbirth in Scotland says

When the registration is complete the registrar will give you, free of charge:
A certificate of registration of stillbirth for production to the person in charge of the burial ground or crematorium;
If one of the parents registers the stillbirth and requests it, an extract of the entry in the register.

The page also gives details of the Stillbirth Register and who can obtain details from it.

There is no mention of a death certificate being issued.
