Hi,

Is it possible for someone born in February not to appear in the birth records until Apr/May/Jun records.

I was looking for my great grandfather (whom even his daughter did not know). I beleive I have found the death record, which shows the birth date but the only birth record for the same name in the same year in in the wrong quarter.

I am trying to find Tom Williamson born 17 Feb 1916 died June 1996 in Newcastle Upon Tyne.

Death record shows DOB 17/02/1916
Birth record is in Apr/May/Jun 1916.

You have six weeks to register a birth so it's quite possible that the birth could have been registered at the beginning of April.

When a birth registration says June it means the June quarter of the year - which includes April, May and June registrations.
