Received my Gt Gt Grandmother's birth certificate this morning.
Sarah Hopley born 3 June 1849 @ Great Boughton, Chester, time on birth cert 12 noon.
So I assume that she was a twin. There are no other Hopley births on the same page for the same district of that qtr so I'm guessing it was a stillbirth.
Assuming I'm correct (and its not just an over-enthusiastic Registrar!), and I know there's no Stillbirth Register, would there be a BURIAL record for a stillborn child? Obviously the child would need to be buried, but having never encountered a stillbirth to date, I've no experience as to whether the burial would have been noted in the Parish Registers?
Thanks in advance ;D
