Hi Catherine,

You can order a still birth certificate from the GRO, as long as you can provide the parents dates of death.

This link should give you some more information.

I know that the local registrar offices in UK have a separate register for still births which is not a widely known fact.  Maybe the same in Ireland.  Perhaps a grave may be a clue unless cremated.

Worth checking locally where they came from.
