Find Ancestors

I always thought my father was born 26th Jan. 1904 but have searched numerous sites for his birth record but without success. on the 1911 census it appears he was born in 1906, but still cannot find any birth record for him.
Does anyone have any suggestions

Who is he and where was he born? Do you know his mothers maiden name?

Would you like to tell us his name, area born and parents...then we can look for you

have you tried

My father's name was Arthur Edward Barnsdall and was born as far as I am aware in Nottingham City area. His mother's maiden name was Letherland.

whoever reg his death has the birth as 1906 which would tie with the 1911 census info

"I was aware that his death registration was in 1976, as I was the person who registered it, but I cannot understand why I cannot find his birth registration in 1906."

You could try for a birth cert from the GRO wihout quoting a GRO ref They will do a 3 years search using parents info etc. Check the GRO site for guidance.

Sorry, got in a twist there! Post amended.

I see the problem now. Best I have found, and not much use really:

TAKE A LOOK AT HIS FATHERS NAME !!!!!

It may be that his birth record didnt get passed to the GRO Have seen this happen . You could try the Nottingham Registry Office

Applying for a certificate of birth, marriage, civil partnership or death

I cannot see an Arthur Jarman in the nottingham area in 1911 and that one was born in the right reg qtr for 1906


jax

Good spot, jax.

The birth certificate would confirm via the mother's name. There may well have been an error transfering the info from the certificate, and I think that could be corrected even now, if so.

The Arthur E/Edward Jarman deaths up to 2005 match up with other births.

Sorry about me sending private messages, but I am new to this facility and hadn't realised the procedure. Thanks for the info. this seems to be the answer.
