Lynda, you say that there is a choce of two names gthat the child may have been registered under. IF you are talking about the parents then you may find that the child has been registered under two names though only one certificate will be valid. |

Well, you know when and where so I'd give them a ring and give both possible names - if you know the mother's name they might accept this as a checking point. In my experience registry offices have always been very helpful You'e got nothing to lose! |

You could phone the registrar and explain the problem - give them all the details you know including the two names, and they might be sympathetic and look it up for you. Are you certain that the birth has been registered already, as you have six weeks to register a birth? Kath. x |

Do you know the registration district? |

Then you would have to get in touch with the relevant register office, but I'm not sure whether or not they would issue a certificate that is so recent. Kath. x |

Part of the prob is we don't know the surname the child was registered with, we have a choice of two |

This birth happened the 8th of this month, and is part of a very sensitive story |

GRO website says 'For recent events registered within the last 18 months, applications for certificates should be made to the Register Office in the district where the birth, death or marriage took place. ' |

How recent was the birth? Ancestry has births up to 2004. Kath. x |

If its very recent, it won't have reached the GRO from the local register office yet. nell |

I'vs seen a few entries on the IGI for 'recent' events but not many. IGI is used mainly for ancestor hunting pre 1837, after that use the GRO index |

Individual events do not have IGI [International Genealogical Index] numbers. The IGI is a collection of genealogy records, some from parish records and some from people's own research or imagination! There are batch numbers for parish extracts (for example, all the marriages within a specific parish or county). What are you trying to find out and how recent is recent! |

Do you mean the GRO reference? I don't think the IGI have recent births. Kath. x |
