My dad was born in a zinc bucket. He always says he headed the bucket on the way in and he'll kick the bucket on his way out!! Dianne xx

Len, if both your parents were out at the cinema when you were born ....Who gave birth to you?LOL.....moe

My sister was born in the ambulance on the way to hospital! I was more civilised and waited till my mum got to the hospital! I have a birth cert where the place of birth is listed as 'Caravan in a field'. Pat

My sister-in-law had her baby in the maternity hospital.... nothing special about that i hear you say....she was visiting her sister who had just given birth and went into labour on the ward and ended up in the next bed, she was booked into another hospital for her baby, theres only 2 days between the kids instead of 6 weeks. ...moe

One of my Brownies was born on the cross channel ferry coming over from Germany to the UK. Her birth certificate actually gave the ships location in the North Sea ! Daphne

I was born in my parent's bedroom but they were both out at the time (at the cinema) and didn't get back until 2 hours after the event. len

Hi Dee not strange but methinks funny , I was born in Aldershot Military Hospital and it appears that the Army ambulance rushed to the hospital with my mum inside , my dad who was a strapping Sgt had already been taken to the hospital to meet my mum there, well it seems that the ambulance arrived and my dad in a panic ripped open the door which fell onto his foot breaking it. So we have muffer on one trolley and father on another being rushed into the hospital so I could be born .:-)))))))))))))))

Read in either 1891 or 1901 census Un-named mother (a stranger) with 1 day old child: in room over the stable, at the vicarage. Wonder what they called him??? Jay

Mum was born in a cottage just off the fairway on a golf course 1921

My Youngest Son was born on my settee in 2001 ! ! !

Well we are certainly getting some unusual places ;-)) My dear departed Dad was born in the workhouse that Dickens used for the basis of Oliver Twist. Dee x

An ex workmate's son was born in the back seat of his Dad's car in a layby on Epsom Downs whilst they were on route to hospital. His birth certificate says Derby Stables Road, Epsom, which is the name of the nearest road! Sue xx
