Can anyone tell me where I can find birth records for children born in Greece around 1870-1885 to English parents
Thanks
Jackie

I`d be interested in the answer to that one Jackie as I have Greek ancestors..........

here is a useful site:

and from the British Embassy in Athens:

Consular Section
British Embassy

Registering the birth of a child:
A child born abroad is automatically considered a British citizen, provided that one or both parents were born, naturalised, registered or adopted in the United Kingdom.
Birth registration is optional, however, if it is required, the following original documents should be produced:

* child’s Greek birth certificate (ΛΗΞΙΑΡΧΙΚΗ ΠΡΑΞΗ ΓΕΝΝΗΣΗΣ)
* one or both parents’ long version British birth certificates
or certificates of naturalisation / registration
* parents’ marriage certificate (where appropriate)

Please ensure that you include your postal address and daytime phone number.
There is no time limit before which the registration must be effected.
Copies are sent to the General Register Office at Southport and a copy is kept at the Consulate for reference.

Hope this is helpful, Krissie
