remember, you have six weeks to register a birth. This means it could be the next quarter for your dad. How about this one? Albert Smith, MMN Long. Birmingham N. 6d 710. June Qtr 1928.

You can apply for his birth certificate through the GRO quoting the date of birth and give his father's name. Send a covering letter with it with any other details you have about him. It costs more - £11.50 and it takes longer. I sent off for my grandfather's birth cert this way as could not find him on listings but my cousin found dob on RAF records. I sent it off over 3 weeks ago - rang them Friday - and it is due to be sent out in next couple of days (she did say nothing had come up in the refund box). I still have my fingers crossed - but if you have his dob it has to be worth it. If you're not 100% sure of dob - the GRO can search a three year period for him. Jill

Patricia Just found a marriage for Sidney. A .Smith to Emily A Gardner A/M/J 1927 Birmingham 6a 1172. This sounds promising. His 2nd name could have been Albert I also found a marriage for Sidney Smith to ? Fajarkarley J/A/S 1925 6d 1420 Now its a matter of finding your dad. The one I found had Haitt as his mother. I will have another look and see what I can find By the way I went to school in Birmingham to Sir Josiah Masons Orphanage, do you know of it. I live in Kent but go every year to the reunions. John
