Just wondering if anyone has any advice.
My father in law, born in 1914 and deceased in 2000 only ever had a 'short' birth certificate. We would like to obtain the full certificate to help with researching that side of the family but there is no record of his birth on GRO index or on Ancestry (to which I subscribe). Has anyone got any suggestions ? Is the GRO index online always accurate?
Maybe he was adopted and if so does anyone know how to go about getting an adoption certificate. The curious thing is that when I put in a search on Genes-reunited website they appear to have a birth record but I would have to pay to see it and am suspicious as to why they would have a copy and not the official source. Does anyone use that website and is it reliable -if so I suppose I could subscribe for a month just to see what they have.
Any help or advice gratefully received!
