Louisa if this is your family it looks like they moved around quite a bit, I know this might sound confusing but Herefordshire & Worcestershire are 2 counties that join and if the family moved about they may have registered the children in either county. I cant check for any births because FreeBMD is down at the moment & I cant get any results. Georgina.

If you do order the cert, make certain to add some known details as checking points. That will ensure that you don't get a 'wrong' cert...... As has already been pointed out, registration wasn't compulsory until 1875, so there is a better than even chance that the birth simply wasn't registered...........particularly as it was so soon after the introduction of general registration..........
