From FreeBMD - since 42 days allowed for registration, could *just about* include the second one. Births Sep 1875 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hedge Herbert Watford 3a 421 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Dec 1875 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hedge Herbert Edward Smallburgh 4b 55

There are 2 on freebmd in 1875. Do you know where he is likely to be born and can you find him with any known family in the 1881 census online at family search?

Thank you so so much.... the watford one seems more likely as i know the family were in Sarrat in herts for some time. I really really am grateful for your help.... Next daft question.... on ordering the certificates of these 2 do i just provide the reference numbers you have given me?

You need the name of the person, the event, ie birth, marriage or death and the year and quarter, then just the place and number given. Why not order just the most likely first because you know one of them is going to be the wrong one.
