Is this the one?

England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index: 1837-1983
about Harold Gilmore
Name: Harold Gilmore
Year of Registration: 1901
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Chorlton
County: Lancashire
Volume: 8c
Page: 870

If so, he would have missed the 1901 census and the 1911 census has not yet been released.

You will need to purchase the birth certificate and you can do this online at www.gro.gov.uk

The cost is 7 pounds and it takes about 2 weeks for it to be mailed to you.
