Member Since: February 2018 Posts: 36 Send Message	Looking for James Bates born between 1864 - 1867 in Lichfield. His parents are Robert born 1829 St Anne's Middlesex and Hannah Parrott born 1838/39 Bedfordshire. I have looked for a birth certificate for him but can't find one. Wendy

His marriage cert (1888) gives his birth as c1864. But as Shirley says, registration wasn't compulsory then.

Member Since: February 2018 Posts: 36 Send Message	Yes I think your correct i have looked everywhere for him and cannot find his birth registered. I couldn't find his parents in 1861 either. In 1871 they lived in Darlaston. Thanks for the help anyway
