As a hint, dont try to put too much info in the details, you only need what I stated, dont fill in the rest. Only fill the boxes with the asterisk next to them.

Tiny, do you have the GRO Volume and page number for the birth?

Along with the district and name and date, that is all you require to order online from the GRO here:-

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

Make sure you register first (free) and make sure the button on the first page for "Is GRO ref known" is ticked otherwise they will charge more and require more details.
If you have the GRO ref, certs cost £7 online.
