From Hazel Goodman, Just to add a little info: My older brother, born 1943, full term but 'died at birth'. There is a register of still-births, but certificates are only available to next-of-kin. We were able to obtain this after my parents passed, and with some help from an organisation (I forget the name, but can find it, if anyone needs to know) were able to find out where he was buried, something my mother was never told! Being wartime, he was interred with a 'maiden lady', presumably because that was considered appropriate. This was 'down south' where my mother, born in Durham, was relocated. Hazel This sort of question is often confused with that of "What happened to stillbirths?". As far as I know, they, too, would have been buried in a cemetery/churchyard, but (usually) without a religious service and, also usually, all together in one plot kept for that purpose and not in ANY "family grave", that being because they were not, in theory, actual persons, never having had any separate existence away from their mother.
