No surprise, really.

Until 1875, there were no penalties for not registering births.....and many simply weren't registered

Try looking for a baptism, although that won't tell you his DOB, or his mother's maiden name

Did he marry?

His father - if known - will be named on the cert

Welcome to the boards Peter.
Do you know who he married? His marriage cert will give his father's name, which is a start at least!

I can't find the actual birth record in Free BMD or Genes Reunited to enable me to obtain a copy of the original birth certificate. Trying to make progress with his ancestral line. Can anyone help?
