Hi Tony
The GRO has a new index for births and deaths and the birth index gives the mother's maiden name. Makes it much easier to find the correct birth registration.
You have to register but it costs nothing.

Thanks crisane - I'd noticed that the format of the GRO website had changed, but hadn't realised that the search facilities had been changed - a massive improvement in my opinion.

Tony. What is your connection to this Gerrard Family. I was helping one of my cousins with this information.

Hi R Snelling.  I have been researching my wife's family tree.  Her maternal grandfather is Albert Henry Gerrard (1889-1966).  Albert's father is the elusive John Gerrard - hence the interest in obtaining John's birth certificate.

John Gerrard (b 22nd October 1815) is the brother of my husbands 3X great grandma Mary McCune, née Gerrard. Her husband Robert McCune was a witness at John and Janes wedding. According to their wedding certificate, his father is Richard Gerrard, his mother was Elizabeth, I believe her maiden name was Pullman. I’d be grateful if anyone has anymore info on the family. I’m going on holiday to Dorset in a weeks time and will be staying near Beaminster. I hope to visit the museum there, where I believe they have family history resources.
