Not seeing it on FMP or ancestry so likely wasnt in England / Wales

Mind you even the births were reluctant to show

Maybe you need the first birth cert for its info

It's just 50 years so you should be able to get it

Researching:
Surname Fahse. Germany. Essex .South East London My avatar is one of our wedding photos of 1957

It's on Scotlands People 1964 @ Gretna! Will PM the bare details that show - you would be able to get the Certificate from GROS at a cost of £12. As it is less than 75 years ago you can't see it for yourself.

Surname l'anson, mmn Pokkan. Using FMP I strangely can't get the births to come up using the birth surname, only by leaving that blank and inputting mmn.

Looks like there was a possible birth in 1964 in Cumberland too - name echoes Father's
