	Birth registration did not start until 1837. You will need to find a baptismal record for him.

	You need to look at parish records,some are online on the family search website,but not all records are transcribed and some are member submitted which means they should be treated with caution. You can also access the records at the archives/records offices,but you need to be at the relevant office for the area you are researching. www.familysearch.org Glen
