does anyone know why i can't find a birth entry for a person - i have searched for days going thru indexes - my mum says she definately had a brother born between another brother and sister and he lived with them until they were spilt up and put in homes but i can't find any record. they all had their mothers name and she didn't not marry their father - this brother has never been found thanks for any tips sue |

Is Maurice Millings one of the brothers? If so, his birth was reg JAS 1936 in Boston district. That, at least, gives a possible location..........assuming the mother didn't move around the country. Reg |

I suspect it was Millings..........the poster said 'she didn't marry the father' The Maurice I found had MMN Millings Some feedback would clarify........... Reg |

I meant her full name Reg, I was going to check for a possible marriage, maybe the child was registered in his fathers name? Georgina. |

thankyou georgina, - thats all i found this is most peculiar my mum is insistant they had a brother called gordan - he and maurice were put into a childrens home in sheffield when they were all seperated and then gordon dissappeared. maurice found mum and betty years later and has never found gordon - i would just like to know what happened to him so mum can piece together her past. they did find their mother again before she died. |

what year approximately did Gordon disappear? Have you searched the death indexes in case he died? Is there a records office for Boston that can help you out more on this? Marilyn |

Maybe he wasn't actually a brother..............perhaps he was a cousin, or even just a child taken in to be cared for. Reg |

mum insists he is a brother - no i haven't searched the death records they were moved from boston to sheffield thats when maurice lost contact - don't know how long it would take to search death records as we don't know what county to look in |
