Ancestry for michael,,freebmd didnt seem to have it ?

If he was born early December, he could have been registered in the last quarter of 1934 but either may there were no Michael J Ellis birth registered until June 1935 on FreeBMD - I'll have a look on Ancestry.


EDIT
Good -you've found it! Where were you looking please?

Mother's Maiden Surname: Hobden
Date of Registration: Jan Feb Mar 1935
Registration district: Bromley

Not seeing a Michael born to that couple - unless of course Ivy had been married before and Hobden wasn't her maiden surname.

I think this may be Herberts marriage.??
