My grandparents had a stillborn child in 1904 of which nothing was ever spoken. Altho I did not search for the birth cert, I found it listed on a later childs cert and the buriel in cemetery records.

Hi all, I'd assumed that registration was needed for all deaths, but between the years 1939-1946 was registration altered in Victoria, in respect to still-born children? A friend's been told by an elderly acquaintance that her parents did have a child between these years, between the births of their two other children, however this was never spoken of, and a search of the Victorian Deaths CD does not disclose this. We'd be grateful for your input. Wendy ==== AUS-VIC-GEELONG-DISTRICT Mailing List ==== Geelong & District Research Centres & Museums : http://www.zades.com.au/geelong/gdresc.htm
