Genealogy - Stillbirth Records
Are, or were, records of miscarriage children's deaths kept? I believe the last two (twins) of my Grandmother's thirteen children were stillborn - c1914 in London. I have records of all the other family members but have nothing for these - no names or dates. I thought perhaps parish records or burial records might have something. Would there have been usual burials in such cases? Any advice appreciated.

The 1921 census is due to be published in January 2022, but checking on the questions asked, they dropped the one relating to the number of children a female had although they kept in the one about the number of children still living.
If your Grandmother's other children were christened at a particular church, their records may be available from the church authorities, or they may possibly have been lodged with the local County Records Office.
Good luck with your research.
