are gro army birth certificates the same as ours, giving names of childs parents. as if not, not much good sending for the one i want

zena :-)

I haven't seen an army birth certificate but from what I can find by Googling it seems they do have parents names.

I would have thought they are pretty much the same as normal English birth certificates.

You could always ring the GRO at Southport and ask them.

thanks kath never thought of that

You can see examples of the series started in 1881 at
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/Content/Help/index.aspx?r=554&402

Click on service returns at end of web page. Naturally, given the site, these are all Scottish births abstracted from the full series.

I would expect the parents full names to appear after 1837, but I've not seen any of the earlier ones, especially none of the 18th century ones.

My grandfather was in the cold Stream Guards in London and had a child. Parents names are on the certificate. that was about 1923. It was the same certificate. :-D

nb - if the birth was in London, it wouldn't be in the service register. Similarly, a death in 1917 London from war wounds wouldn't be in the WW! deaths register (although it would be commemorated on the CWGC site). BMDs within the UK were recorded in the regular registers, irrespective of cause or military status of involved parties.

My dads birth cert is an army one, he was born in India, it has the same details as a normal full birth cert but more details of my grandfathers regiment.
