The penny has dropped, or should I be honest and say that 'him indoors' found the answer...... It has to be 23/08/1913 and not any of the ones in my original message. Yes he is crowing, but I will get my own back. hee hee hee Kathlyn

Try putting a 0 in front of the month ie 08. It is just a small thing but happened to me once.

Try 23 08 1913. But you dont actually NEED to put this in if you have the GRO reference, and personally, I wouldn't anyway, as it will be rejected if the date is wrong for any reason. OC

Please will someone tell me I am not going crackers.......... I have been trying to order a birth cert on line and have completed all the boxes correctly.....THEN it says... Date of birth must be a valid non future date in the format dd-mm-yyyy. Well I have put in. 23.8.1913............I have put in 23 August 1913.....I have even put in 23rd August 1913......but it still keeps throwing it out and saying I must have a valid birth date etc etc etc. What am I doing wrong please.
