Hi. If she was stillborn & didn't draw a breath, then there should have been a stillbirth certificate. This is unlike any other. They are not listed online & only a parent or sibling (if they have the parent's death certificate) can order one. It's all very delicate. If however, the baby breathed even once a birth & a death certificate will be available. Obtaining certificate for an historic stillbirth entry

Due to the sensitive nature of stillbirth registrations, the procedure for ordering a copy of a stillbirth entry differs from other types of certificates. Apart from very recent events, the General Register Office holds records of all stillbirths registered in England and Wales since 1 July 1927. Certified copies of these records can only be obtained with the registrar general's consent.

The following conditions apply:

A certificate will only be issued to the mother or father of a stillborn child;
Siblings may apply if their parents are no longer alive. Details of their parents dates of death should be sent with the application; Regards Suzanne x
