Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all your replies.
The birth years are 1963 and 1965.

I have all the information for the GRO ..ie parents names as the parents are cousins of mine.

Hopefully going to send for these certs this week-end.

Thanks for the help.
Sue

I'm not sure what date you're looking for but you can't order a birth cert less than 50 years old without a lot of additional information.

Sometimes there is an error in the original certificate which later comes to light. This can lead to an ammended entry being made later and the original entry annotated with the quarter and usually the year of ammendment.

Look for the same entry being ammended in the september quarter of the same year.

Your friend must be right as I have just checked one in 1967 and it has "s" at the end.

Never heard of that, don't know what the "s" is for.
