Stillbirths are on a separate (closed) register which first came into force around 1927. |

thanks the birth i refered to was a younger sister to my mum she knows she was born after 1948 at home. she was called marie and had some kind of illness disability which hospitilised her for most of her life and she died when she was approximatly 5/6 years old. but i cant find any records any where, any relatives of the right age to have a good memory of it, wont talk about it and say the past is the past and it needs to say there. but im noisy and think she needs to be remembered. |

i have looked in the birth and death records for the local area five years either side that the birth and death were supposed to have been. i have also tried different spellings and no first name at all, but still no luck. i have also tried the local parish records but still no luck. i have got a small document from a hospital which informs of her transfer to another hospital, but you cant access medical records can you? i know she excisted just cant find the records. any ideas? |

It might be worth widening the search area a little. |

if she had been put in an institution surely there should still be birth and death records. i dont know details of disability or illness, do know she came home on visits only for a couple of hours at a time and was hooked up to an oxygen cyclinder. i think she might of had some sort of chest/ breathing problem. |

yes it is possible that she lived for longer, if she was in an insitution is there any way of finding out? but i still dont understand why i cant find a birth certificate. a lady i meet at the local records office (she didnt work there) said sometimes records were removed and sealed if a person was institutionalised. is that a possibility. and if so will i ever be able to find them. any help or advice gratefully recieved. |

There is one other possible scenario.............. |

did think of that so did also look under the mothers maiden name but still no luck. starting to think that she is not supposed to be found. if someone was put in an insituton in the late 1940's early 50's , depending on what the health reason was it is possible that she is still alive. is there any way of checking? |
