Pre 1875 the birth may not have been registered,

You have 42 days ie 6 weeks to register a birth so some births will be in the next quarter Some too may tip over into the following year if a late Nov birth,
For instance my dad was born late Dec 1907, his mum registered him late Jan (mums used to stay confined indoors for a min of 3 weeks after birth then) SO dads registraion is Mar qtr 1908 even tho he was born in 1907,

Remember the records are when the birth was registered not when the birth took place

Researching:
Surname Fahse. Germany. Essex .South East London My avatar is one of our wedding photos of 1957

I'm unsure what you are seeking.
Could you explain what you hope to find please?

What sort of dates?
Living people ? ( in which case don't post any of their names on an open forum )
...or
ancestors?

Is it very recent? If so, send a message to me (click on my name). If pre, say, 1940, would you like to put the name etc here?
