would they do a birth certificate for a stillborn baby and can anyone tell me where Bramley is please

Think someone asked about Bramley the other night, think birmingham/Wolverhampton way

I'm sure there's also a Bramley in Leeds. Mandy :)

Thanks for that the still birth question can anyone help please

Val Have nudged up a thread by Maz in the East End- Still birth some answers to help you xxxxxxx

Stillbirths were not required to be registered until 1927. The register is closed to all apart from the parents or siblings of the child. I find it so sad as my grandmother had a stillborn girl and I would like to feel I could commemorate that child's existence. Unfortunately, no-one is left who knows when she was born or which husband was the Father.

There is a BRAMLEY in Derby Hampshire Leeds Rotherham Surrey Also Bramley Corner and Bramley Green both in Hampshire Bramley Head in N Yorke

Val There is a Bramley in Leeds, West Yorks, one in South Yorks, 2 in Hants and 1 in Surrey! Oh! Shelli beat me to it! Debby

I have the birth certificate for the baby but I got wrong certificate for death as I was told there was 2 that had died well it was only the one as other was on 1891 cencus so she must have lived for a little while she was born 1883 one of triplets thanks for your help there is another with same name but the babies where born in Sussex could they have went to Bramley would it be close enough

Val where in Sussex???? Sorry Debby xx

Bramley looks to be about 7-10 miles north of the line for West Sussex

On the birth certificate it says West Dean Sussex

Val About 20 miles as the crow flies, appox 3o/35 miles by road. So not exactly poles apart, they may have moved is the name a common one?

Yes Mary Ann Lambert I looked on ancestry and found the other 2 girls alive on the 1891 cencus Annie must have died later as Sarah married my grandad after my gran died in 1920 Thanks for all your help

My Mother in law was a surviving twin, the baby boy was stillborn, that was in 1928, there is no record of him.. Hope you have more luck Val http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/stillbirths/obtainingstillbirthcertificates/index.asp

thanks Sammy but I am hoping she lived even a little while as I have the birth certificate keeping my fingers crossed

My grandmother had several stillborn children after my mother was born., due to being rhesus negative. Mum remembers one who lived a few days and I have both birth and death certs for him. Mum doesn`t think that any of stillbirths were ever registered.

Thanks for that Carol so the baby must have lived a little while. My mum is the same blood group told her lucky not to have blue babies only found out my dad's when I was born

She must have taken a breath Val, to have a birth & death cert... Bless her Such a shame :(

Yes I know what you mean we also thought the other one died at birth as well but she was on the 1891 cencus I have ancestry so I checked
