Thank you. Before I order the birth certificate can you confirm the names of his parents,
to make sure I am ordering the correct certificate.

Not without my ordering the certificate too!
As you can see from the link I posted  the names of the parents are not included in this part of the indexes.  But the year is correct. You think he may have been born in Scotland. Seems worth the gamble to me.

I don’t think you can look at that one with credits (it’s too recent) you have to buy the actual cert, that’s why the blue button says buy certificate , rather than view with credits.

You’ll use them no problem I’m sure, but don’t get carried away until  you are sure of his parents. It is easy to go along the wrong path.

I’m having a great time, connected the parents to John and his found his grandparents.
I making a family tree chart with details from an old family bible belonging to a friend.
I wasn’t sure which area of the UK to look, just guessed it could be Scotland from the list of names.
The link you gave was the key.
Thanks for you help.

Welcome to rootschat

Whatever you do don't follow online trees as they are often wrong. They are good for guidance though.  I know it is easy to get carried away but it is always best to back up your research with certificates.  You really need that birth certificate just to confirm who his parents are.
