	The stillbirths register can only be accessed by parents or siblings as this from the direct.gov website: Order a stillbirth certificate Due to the sensitive nature of stillbirth registrations, only the mother or father of the child is able to apply for a certificate. The parent must be named on the birth certificate to do this. Should the parents be deceased, a brother or sister can apply if they can provide their parents’ dates of death.

	I cannot find the thread on this but have just read that from 1926 all stillbirths are reg with Registrars and from that you will find possibly details of burial. Hope this info is of use to someone.
