child birth question

[irish2525]

If there was a case. That an UN married women had a baby out of wedlock and died having it was this normal over 100 years ago her death cert wouldn't ve registered

HI there "Irish",

A death is a death - no matter the cause or status of the person, so can't see how it could have gone unregistered.  If you can give basic details - the year and place, maybe someone can help.
Good luck

Sometimes a woman who 'died in childbirth' has a different cause of death on their death cert than would be expected. Usually this was because the woman was unwell and the illness complicated the pregnancy, rather than just 'dying in childbirth'.  As Maggs said, the death would have been registered regardless.

The law, in England and Wales, requires a death to be registered before a burial can take place.

Is it possible the lady's death was registered with a different surname? Sometimes if a woman was in a "difficult" situation she might use another name. The most obvious being the father's name. If she was not near home she might try & pretend to be married or widowed.

How do you know that the mum died,is that family hearsay?

If so and you(we) really can't find her death,then maybe she did NOT die immediately after having the baby.
