I would like to order my grand mother's birth certficate but there is no birth entry on BMD. I have all her details: name, date, mother's name & surname, district and even the birth entry number. How can I order this cert if there is no BMD vol & page ref number? I know the details are correct as aunt gave them to me over the phone.

put them here and I will have a look Jeanette

Irene Mary Sayers b 14/06/1912 West Ham Mother's name: Eiza Morrison Birth entry number: 295 Thanks in offering to look this up for me.

I wouldn't rely on information that anyone gives you. It is surprising how many people remember someone's birth date (day and month) but get the year wrong. Try looking a year or so either side of what you have been told. Kath. x

It's registered in the Sept. qtr. 1912 West Ham, 4a, 83. Kath. x

its in the next 1/4 as right at end of June and they had 6 weeks to register 3rd 1/4 july-sept 4a 83

Hi Kathleen, These details are correct as my aunt has the birth cert with her in South Africa where the info came from. My gran's bd was a day after mine in June as well. I'll always remember her bd as the yr she was born was when Titanic sank. It's puzzling I can't find it as I 've even tried Sayer (s) & also with her 2nd name as 1st name.

in case you missed it we have found it jeanette

I don't think Liesele has missed it Jeanette, just perhaps a bit slow at typing. Kath. x

Thanks very very much Kathleen & Jeanette. Something so easy and yet I couldn't find it. Will remember to check the next quarters when faced with same prob in the future.
