Getting certificates
« on: Saturday 05 October 19 15:55 BST (UK) »
Hi, I am fairly new to Geneology so am still finding my way around the procedures. May I ask a ? Please...there are some twins that were either stillborn or did not live long or both. I have looked on findmypast and got some references to order birth and death certificates.  However have been told that if stillborn they may not have had any paperwork, strange I can see the reference numbers though, any help would be appreciated. Ty.

If they were stillborn they would not appear on the GRO indexes that you can view online, they would however show if they were born alive.

What is the year? Still births were only registered from 1 July 1927, and are not available online.

If you have found the births and deaths on a "normal" index then I do believe they were not stillborn as they wouldn't appear on that index but am sure someone will correct if this is wrong. 

Do you have the birth quarters and death quarters to give an indication how old they were?

So just to clarify if they are in the gro index which they are there will be certificates available.  Family thought they were stillborn, they went into either a mass grave or were put into other people’s coffins which I understand that was done but maybe that would only be stillborn?   There do not appear to be graves according to cemetery records. All a bit unknown really. Maybe best to send off for 1 and see what happens??

They were born 1925 and both died in 1st quarter so they have died within 3 months.

If they were born alive, even for a short time, then the birth and death would have to be registered.

The findmypast site shows the volume and page details. So guess could Oder certs.
