If you tick the box that asks if the GRO reference is known, then you don't need the exact date. Sam x

Hi, I tried that but the form asked for a specific date of birth, and wouldn't accept the three monthly approximate date. Thanks for your help though, Sasha.

hi, you will have to send for the birth certificate, all births come under the 'quarter' of the yr they were born,

Hi, I am trying to find out the date of birth of one of my relatives. His name is Ryan James Long and his birth was registered in Hatfield on the April/May/June 1968 quarter list. The reference number is 48166 (I think, not very good print) but it does not list a date of birth. His mother's name was Patricia M Long (nee Corse) and his father was Richard James Long. Can anyone point me in the right direction so that I can find Ryan's date of birth please? Also, Patricia and Richard's marriage was registered on the Jan/Feb/March 1964 quarterly listing for Epping, reference number SA 209. Any idea how I would go about finding out the date of their marriage and subsequent divorce? Many thanks, Sasha.
