Member Since: October 2006 Posts: 627 Send Message	Hi, I am looking for a birth entry for Michael Campbell b 1905 q3 in West Derby; however, there are 2 entries listed and I do not know the names of his parents. Does anyone have any ideas as to make sure that I send for the right certificate? All suggestions/help greatly appreciated. Kind regards Rachel

	If you ordered both you'd still have no idea which one is correct. The only way to be sure is to find his marriage & order that cert first so at least you know his dad's name

	For ref the two entries Surname First name(s) District Vol Page ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Births Sep 1905 (>99%) Campbell Michael W.Derby 8b 465 Campbell Michael W.Derby 8b 428 Rachel Seeing as you don't know who the parents are you can't use a ref check. How did you come by his name? Even if you had both certificates how would you know which one you wanted? Glen
