Birth registrations didn't start till 1837 and even then, to my knowledge, it wasn't compulsory till 1875 ish

What you really need is a baptism, that is possibly the only way you will find him prior to 1837

Hi
Many thanks for your reply ,it explains why I have not been able to find any records of his birth and I have learned another very important piece of information about the record system.
Many thanks again
Roy

Pity you can't  pin him down as Clacton is quite a large area for anyone to search for his baptims, if of course he was baptised

I have always been led to believe that people thought that baptising a child was a form of registration, I think they leant better after it became compulsary

I can in fact pin him down to Gt Clacton so St John the Baptist church could be the place to start
Thanks for the info
Roy
