According to the very excellent book Ancestral Trails (by Mark Herber) it
says that

"you may sometimes find a death certificate for a child but no birth
certificate, because the death took place before the parents had registered
the birth. It is unclear whether the registrar asked about this and
required late registration of the birth"

"Deaths of stillborn children did not have to be registered until 1874"

Best wishes, Nivard Ovington in Cornwall
