Registration didn't start until 1837 and didn't become compulsory until 1875 so there are no birth certificates for the date you give. All you can hope for is a baptism record from parish records (In England and Wales). In Scotland registration began in 1855.

Does anyone know the answer to the above? I'm stuck back at an ancestor who was born in 1722 and am wondering whether I would be able to get hold of a birth certificate as far back as that.
