Birth registers are not available to view, certificates must be purchased. If he was baptised I don't think the record would be online yet.

And if you do decide to order a copy of the birth cert. if ordering from the GRO use the reference exactly as shown on FreeBMD

If from the local Reg. Office, do not quote the FreeBMD references as they use a totally different reference system.

They are the parents of Alice; she had a sister Florrie. :D

I believe that William H C Pow was Born out of wedlock; the father not being Percy CONNOR.
