Coed Porth is near Wrexham - am I doing something wrong (I am new to this) - does this mean you have found her or just found out that Coed Porth is near Wrexham?

I wonder if the copy you have isn't a full B/C

Where abouts in Wales is Coed Porth

The only one coming up is the one registered in Wrexham

Have you checked on the transcribed records of on the actual images quarter by quarter?

Hi Tracy,
On the birth certificate you have....as Julie says...it should show her parents names......What info does it give?
Regards Vera

Unfortunately not which is really weird. I havent found her three sisters yet either!

I'm wondering if something happened to the office where they were registered - does that happen?

Doesn't it say on her B/C that you have what her parents names were

I'm trying to find details about my grandma's parents only to discover that my grandma doesnt exist on the BMD register- she was born in February 1920 in Coed Porth Wales, I've got her birth certificate (copy done in 1956) - any clues?
