Sidney and Ethel Wilson Liverpool 1938

[recorder]

How do I trace a possible birth in 1938 (possibly 1937) of a baby who did not survive, please? I am told there was an entry in the Liverpool Echo BMDs.  Any information would be most welcome.

Was Ethel's maiden name Naden?  Married 1930 but only one live birth showing in 1940.  Anything earlier may have been a stillbirth hence no birth/death registration

23 June 1938 Newspaper: Liverpool Echo

Birth Announcement
[my reading is that it says “a son (stillborn)”]

[KGarrad]

The Stillbirths Register started in 1937.
It hasn't been indexed, and is not available online.

My thanks to Blue70, CaroleW, gc1, AlanBoyd & KGarrod for your speedy and helpful replies.  Your help is much appreciated.

Can I pose another question please.  Can you help me find John Wilson, nephew of Mr & Mrs W and son of Albert Wilson, Mr Sidney W's brother. John was born about 1936, mother Catherine or similar. John would be in his early 20s when he died.

No idea if this is right but ..

Marriages Jun 1929   (>99%)
STEPHENSON    Catherine    Wilson    W. Derby    8b   761   
Wilson    Albert    Stephenson    W.Derby    8b   761


Births Mar 1935   
Wilson    P. (Female)  Stephenson    Liverpool S.    8b   114   
Births Jun 1936 
Wilson    John    Stephenson    Liverpool S.    8b   130   
Births Dec 1937   
Wilson    Jean    Stephenson    Liverpool N.    8b   621

Albert born 1897, (is that the right year for your man?)  John & Jean are all in the 1939 register.
Seems Catherine & P.  are still redacted

It is possible the eldest daughter is still alive so I haven’t put her full name.

Do you know where John died?
In Lancashire between 1950 & 1960 are three the right age

Deaths Sep 1953   
WILSON    John    17    Wigan    10f   583    
Deaths Jun 1958   
WILSON    John    21    Manchester    10e   40    
Deaths Jun 1960   
WILSON    John    23    Crosby    10c   65

Small mention of circumstances of the 1958 in newspaper but I cannot, so far, see a notice identifying parents.
Still looking for the others

Jean marriage registered in Crosby 1964, so perhaps the 1960 death is John??
