I am trying to confirm the place of birth for my father-in-law 5 August 1922 I believe it is Edmonton London or Stratord.

I have checked a general search on Ancestry and can;t find anything I have put in mothers maiden name and nothing appears.

Any ideas

Thanks

Are you looking at the Complete BMD's on Ancestry.

Coverage on partial indexes is a bit hit and miss for the 1920's

PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England.

You need to do the complete births in ancestry put his surname in and year of birth and it will tell you were he was registered.You will need a birth certificate to see where he was born
