	Donna you get certificates from ONS and can order on line: http://www.col.statistics.gov.uk/ Never pay than £7 If the birth took place before 1870 it may not be registered as it wasn't compulsary till then. If you are not on Ancestry then try the free site: http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ Jennifer Jennifer

Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 46 Send Message	I think I have found a relative whom is on a Census record. He was only 1 at the time, with his single mother both were living in a Workhouse and noted as "paupers". Has anyone got any idea how I would go about applying for a Birth Certificate. It states on the Census that he and his single mother were born in Stockton-on-Tees, so would I apply to the Register Office that covered that area? Also I have no knowledge of his father. Can anyone assist? Donna
