this is the advice re tracing a grave from the forum:
contact the local council cemetery and crematoria department for the area where the baby died or was stillborn. A register is maintained here. The head of this department is usually called the Superintendent Registrar.
The public are legally permitted to inspect burial registers, but do not have an automatic right to personally inspect cremation registers. However, a search can be made on your behalf if the following information is provided:
• the baby’s surname, and
• the date of death or stillbirth

If the child was 'still Born', back in the 1960's it was not registered either as a birth or a death. Sorry, but there will be no record, as officially the person never existed. Things are different now thankfully, but we are talking of nearly 60 years ago.
This is not the first time this type of question has come up on AB , it's hard now to understand how it was, but it is true, sorry again.
