please can anyone help.

I'm looking for the birth and death of a baby. She was born in the South of England to Dorothy and Peter Rodwell c1965 , and died 3 or 4 months later. Again in the south.
I think her first name was Gillian or Louise. I'd like to get her birth and death certificates
Thank you for reading

Use this free site to look for the marriage of Peter and Dorothy - this will give you her maiden name.

https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Then use the same site to look for births to that combination of names.

When you know when she was born you can then look for a subsequent death - again using freebmd

Another free site to use for births and deaths - you'll need to register
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/indexes_search.asp

In this instance the birth/death years are not covered

But put both sites in your favourites and learn how to use them

Get a copy of the death cert for the actual address, then trawl the cemeteries in the vicinity

Bear in mind that she may not have been buried..................

Are the child’s parents alive?
Or her brother?

Peter and Dorothy were living in Lancashire in 2008, per Electoral Roll, and are listed in the current online BT Phonebook at the same address.

I had a feeling the parents might still be alive - hope they aren't seeing this.
