I was orphaned at the age of three (my father died before I was born). I was brought up by my widowed grandmother who thought that if she didn't talk to me about my parents then I'd soon forget.
I found out, in later years, that I would have had an older sibling (a boy I think). He died either at birth or hours later.
My question is, how can I find out any details? Surely he would have been registered somewhere, I would have thought that stillbirths had to be registered.
My only information is surname and parents names.
Even more alphabetical girls and boys names
Not answering the door when someone calls
The loss of freedom of speech, of sidelining women and biology
