If you are having difficulty locating birth cert, could you try looking at parish revords for a christening?

Carrie. Thank you - the glanford brigg one looks promising as that seems to be the place of the other registrations (all his children). I will check that one out, might try a local search at the registry office in scunthorpe and see what they come up with. Thanks for taking the trouble to look - I couldn't find anything remotely similar. Chris

Jim Not sure when his father got married as i dont know the name of his mother. There are too many Thomas Green's on the index for me check each one individually. Thought if I could get Charles' birth certificate I could work my way through the possibilites of marriage date for his father which would take me back to census dates. Thanks for taking the time to check this out for me. Chris

The only Charles Green's being born in Lincolnshie 5 years either side of 1912? Name: Charles Green Year of Registration: 1908 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep District: Glanford Brigg County: Lincolnshire Volume: 7a Page: 714 Name: Charles Thomas Green Year of Registration: 1907 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep District: Sleaford County: Lincolnshire Volume: 7a Page: 427 all others have different middle names.

When did his father get married? Did he have any brothers or sisters?

dont think thats the one Carrie but have taken the details just in case. The whole family were from the Brigg/Melton Ross area of Lincolnshire. He got married in Elsham, and his father Thomas was from Waddingham

There is this one but do you which area Brigg is in ?? Name: Charles Thomas Green Year of Registration: 1910 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: Barnsley County: West Riding Of Yorkshire Volume: 9c Page: 322 This CTG Would have been born in either Jan, Feb or March Details on death certificates are only as good as the person who gave them? they may have now his birth day but not sure of the actual year and a lot of people dont even know there actual birth year even nowadays?

yes Jim that is the one, sorry i mistyped . mine says 7th as well

is this the death registration? Date slightly different - Charles Thomas Green Dec 1989 7 Feb 1912 Scunthorpe and Barton-upon-Humber Humberside Jim

sorry don't know his mothers name just his father was Thomas. one of the reasons i wanted to confirm the date, place of birth so i can get the cert.

not sure of the relationship of the informant - just says 'causing the body to be cremated' the date does tie in with his marriage cert though which was in 1936 and his age was given as 23yrs incidentially the marriage couldnt be found on the registers either even though i have the original i know he was a methodist (poss a lay preacher) would that make any difference

do you know his mother's maiden name? Jim

It depends on how reliable yout source is. Who registered the death, might they have got the year wrong, in which case you would need to search a few years either side. The BETA images on ancestry are free at the moment. I've looked in the march and june qtr. 1912 but can;t see anything.

I have my grandfathers death certificate and it states his date of birth as 17 Feb 1912, Brigg. I have searched both freebmd and beta but cant find an entry to confirm the date. His full name was Charles Thomas Green Could anyone do a quick check for me to see if i have missed it please. thanks. Chris
