If someone is not on the birth index, does if definately mean it was not registered or could it have been missed off by mistake.

Thanks

It is also possible that they were missed off the quarterly return that the Registrar sent to the GRO.

Do you need help in trying to find someone ?

Worth posting names/dates as a new eye can really help x

Thanks everyone for replying, I think he was probably born between 1910 - 1920, is it worth me contacting the GRO for them to do a search (is that expensive).

Sorry didn't get back earlier had to pop out.
