A British certificate wouldn't tell you that he was Anglo-Indian, I don't think.

You could send for a certificate, once you've picked out a possible match, specifying for example that the mother must be Catherine...then you would only pay part of the cost if it is the wrong one.

Thanxs to all of you for searching.On the 1891 he is listed with family as George and initial undecided also 1901 as George W with his family, We really would like to know where he was born. I think if I send for the cert it may show him as Anglo Indian? I would like to know if sending for the right cert.!!

I have a family member who on the 1891 census was 8 yrs b Woolwich kent
On the 1901 census was 18 yrs b India. His name was George W Adams.
I think the W would be William as his father was Henry William Adams mother Catherine Adams nee Carmen b India. Can anyone look up to see if George was b in Woolwich. Thanks.
