by the way - you can't be sure you've got the right one until you order the cert. Sarah :-)

Just had a look at the transcribed records on ancestry (freebmd's server is down) & found: George P J Smith 1866 Q3 Greenwich 1d 722 You'll have to do as Reg suggests though & trawl through the scanned records (free) on ancestry to see how many possibilities there are. You're lucky to have 2 first names with a surname like Smith. hth sarah :-)

Have you checked the FULL records on Ancestry? Bear in mind that registration was not compulsory until 1875........... Reg

Hi All I have been trying to find a birth for George Patrick Smith born 1867 in Woolwich, Kent - fathers name George William and his mothers name was Mary. I would be very pleased if anyone finds it if they could let me know the reference nos. in order for me to order the birth certificate from the GRO. Many thanks Pauline
