I have seen somewhere else, on this board perhaps, that the information regarding still births is not normally released.

Could be wrong.

Unpleasant facts first.
Perhaps the majority of still-born infants from as late as the 1950s onwards (post war) would have been cremated rather than buried.

There is a still-birth register which may be searched by the Registrar General's staff on behalf of the parents and siblings of the still-born.
The general public may also request a search, but this will only be carried out by permission of the Registrar General (i.e. you need a valid reason for the request).

Even if you get the details of the still-birth, they will not provide detail of the disposal of the remains.
Finding such burials are often thought to be the most difficult problems in family history.
Cheers
Guy

I'm afraid that until recently, mothers were simply advised to put it behind them and try for another baby as soon as possible. If the baby was born in either Northampton General Hospital, or more likely, Barratt Maternity Hospital (next door), then assuming it was buried, the nearest burial ground would be Billing Road Cemetery.

This thread really struck home with me.  My first Son Stephen lived for only 18 hours and there was no funeral as such,  nor did my wife and I have a death certificate or indeed any proof that our Son actually existed.  Our second Son was born,  well D.G., some two years later and all went along quite happily for some twenty years.  Then unhappily my wife suffered severe depression,  which was identified as being caused by the "non closure" of our first Son's demise.  Within a matter of days,  I was able to find,  where he was buried and also to arrange for a headstone to be erected.  Needless to say,  the effect upon myself and my good lady was great.  He was born in Manchester in 1960 and the matter was resolved in 1983.  I do hope that this information brings some clarity to this unhappy subject.       Bill
