Stillbirths are not included in the registers searchable on SP.

Even if they were, THE GROS does not collect information about burials (except for a few years in the early years of civil registration).

I have come across records of stillborn babies in burial ground books when they have been buried in a family lair, so if you know where the parents lived at the time I would think your best course of action would be to contact whichever local authority looks after the burial grounds there.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
