Hi

Can anyone help me find out details of my dads twin who died as a baby. They were born 30 Aug 1931 but my dads birth wasn't registered until 3rd quarter 1931. He doesn't know if his sister was named as his mum my grandma never talked about her just to say that my dad was a twin.
My grans maiden name was Borrowdale and the district was Cockermouth my dads name is William Richardson

thanks
Catherine

If the twin lived...even for a minute...there will be a birth cert.

Check the image showing your father's birth reg'n.........for another one with identical GRO refs, and same MMN

Thank you so much for the information. I am just waiting for my dads parents marriage cert to come and will ask my dad to fill in the form because he too would like to know about his sister.

So I guess I will just have to wait a little longer.

Regards
Catherine

It will have to be your dad who applies for the stillbirth certificate as it is only available to the child's parents, or if they are deceased then to a sibling of the child. No one else can apply. You will need proof that your dad's parents are deceased.
