There are restrictions on who may apply.

you would have to trawl indexes either at Ancestry/other ppv or free at a library.

Having recently gone through this process, you will find that these registers are not in the public domain.

Only if you are a parent, or a sibling and both parents are dead, can you apply.

You have to phone them up and ask them to send a form to you. The form requires an approximate date and place of the still-birth, as well as asking for the date and location of the parents deaths if applicable.

The GRO check the closed registers around the date that you give them and then issue a certificate if an entry is found. Otherwise the money (£7) is returned to you.

Hi Linda .
             I have also been through this process regarding a sibling of mine , i had no definate date but knew the year the GRO were brilliant and did a search for me either year of the time i gave , sadly nothing showed up , the GRO even phoned me to explain that if the baby was born at so many week 's it did not have to be registered , i knew the baby was a male and that at some point a bill had been issued for a coffin (although no propper funeral was held ) so i thought somewhere the baby must be buried , hence a call to local funeral directors ....alll drew a blank apart from one who told me still born babies were ofen buried in a plot where another buriel was due to take place that day (meaning that they were buried with a stranger !) seems unbelavable as this was the 60's i'm talking about , they even told me not many funeral directors would admit to this nowadays , but at the time they belived they were doing a decent thing , so i supose i will never know , to get back to the GRO victor is right in saying you will have to apply for a special form as still birth registers are not searchable by the general public .

  good luck

I was told by someone from the GRO at WDYTA that anyone can apply for a Stillborn's certificate but it is at the discretion of the Registrar whether it will be issued to anyone other than the parents, or a sibling IF the parents are both deceased. 
Also one can apply for the special form by email.
