Hi In case any of our members don't know the GRO have births registers online with the mothers maiden name PRE 1912 and you can either order a Certificate by post or a PDF version by email the PDF is at a reduced rate at the moment of £6 well worth it...I have found 3 babies I never knew about plus my Great Gran's birth because of this.

Right Alamo, I will have a go. When you go in to search for a birth or a death, it comes up at the bottom of the page (Under the search button.)
Choose the certificate you are interested in and at the far right of the line there is a small button under where it says order. The top of the button says certificate in the ordinary £9.50 was. The bottom says PDF. It is a small button and sometimes I hit the wrong one by mistake. Hope this helps.

Cheers, perhaps because I wasn't searching for birth because I already had the index number details, field didn't seem to appear or be offered.
Could also be dementia setting in. Will try again
