Hi Anne, If you are 100% sure of the year and have not found it in the GRO indexes, with the exception of a late registration, which happens occassionaly, the only possible answer is that the birth was not registered. You would then need to look for a baptism in the local parish records. Debbie |

How do you know the year?I'm not harsh just know that people are notorious liars.My grandmother had conveniently lost three years by the time she was 30 and got married.Thats how she stayed for life.So apart from her Birth certificate everything else was untrue. |

I've checked all four quarters of 1877 for you on 1837online and there are no William Michael's only two William's. One born Brighton, 3rd qtr. vol 2b, page 213 One born South Shields, 4th qtr. vol 10a, page 687 I agree that dates of birth and ages are notoriously difficult to pin down without the actual birth certificate. I don't think many of my ancestors had a clue how old they were most of the time. It certainly seems that way anyway. Kath. |
