You can look for them on ancestry, you just need to register with them and then you can search for them, you will need to search the, Complete BMD Index ranges & Images 1837-1983 quarter by quarter untill you find them. http://www.ancestry.*co.*uk remove * from the address Roy

Hi Joyce Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you have the exact date and place of birth for your uncles, given to you by your family, and also a reference from the BMD as to where the births were registered. Unfortunately I can't get onto Ancestry and check the BMD at the moment as the website seems to be down, but it seems to me that they were actually born in Truro, but the births were registered in Helston, maybe by a relative perhaps? Therefore the two sets of births would be the same. Hope this makes sense! Karen
