Thank you Jillian. I'm not sure I know how to form family groups groups on FreeBMD but I will try it. Thanks again.

May I make a suggestion. If he was registered under a different given name, would it be worthwhile to try to form family groups using the 1911 from all the Davis children born in Devonport around the time. Then if one of the children in the list (FreeBMD) can't be placed, perhaps you could try the GRO again with that name and the parents. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks Choccy, but when I ordered that certificate GRO stated "We have not produced a certificate as the parents are not Nicholas James and Elizabeth ann". It was the same thing for entries 5b 83 and 5b 300. Have you ever known GRO to get it wrong, as I have been wondering if they might have made a mistake with one of these as I can't locate him anywhere else?

Trying to find birth record (or anything else) for STANLEY DAVIS, my great uncle. He appears as S Davis, aged 9, born Devonport, in the 1911 census. His parents were NICHOLAS JAMES DAVIS and ELIZABETH ANN AMBROSE. His siblings were ELIZABETH MAUD, FLORENCE MAY, LESLIE ARTHUR, SYDNEY NICHOLAS, VIOLET.
GRO entries 5b 83, 5b 300 and 5b 309 have all turned out not to be the right Stanley. Quite possible that Stanley may have been his second name. Have managed to get birth certificates for all his siblings but he continues to elude me! Any ideas please, on why I cannot find the correct birth entry for him?
