Looking at the birth record, you will only find out who her mother was

As the birth record gives the mother's maiden name as Binding, there probably won't be a father's name on the certificate.

Births Dec 1911


Binding Phyllis G -|Mother Binding - Portsmouth 2b 924

For ref.

Births Dec 1911 Binding Phyllis G Binding Portsmouth 2b 924


You may need to buy the certificate to get the details of her parents.

There is also this birth in the same area

Births Dec 1916 Binding Dorothy M Binding Portsmouth 2b 676


Given that the mmn is also Binding, it is unlikely that a father will be names on the certificate.

Hi all, I wonder if any one can help me please.
My wife's grandmother has given us a name to search for our tree, a Phyllis G Binding, born 1911 in Portsmouth.
I have found the record of her birth, but can not find any reference to her parents, I have found her marriage and her children, but it is her parents we need help with.
Over to you..........................
