I think those that have suggested a link to Scotland are on the right track.

On Scotlands People there is an Alexander Hannah b. 19 April 1920 at 44 Wilson Street, Girvan, father John Hannah locomotive fireman, mother Isabella Hannah nee Allan.

Thank you, I'm not subscribed to Scotlands People, and I can't find the info on Ancestry.

There's a 1963 marriage for an Alexander Hannah in B'ham.
Alexander HANNAH    BIRMINGHAM    9C   710.
They appear in the 1965 ER's in Rookery Rd. B'ham.
Previous sightings has an Alexander Hannah living on the Stratford Rd. in 1950 in lodgings
& in 1930 again on the Stratford Rd. with a Mary Hannah.
Re the last sighting:
To appear on the ER's he would have to be over 21 so born 1909 at the latest.

This info seems to be what I'm looking for thanks. 

I have now received the Marriage Certificate of Alexander Hannah which states his previous marriage was dissolved.  He was aged 43 on 18 May 1963 living in Rookery Road, Handsworth.  His Father was John McLean Hannah (deceased) who was a Railway Engine Driver. 

So the Cumberland Alexander is definitely not the one I'm looking for. 

I just need to locate the ERs you mentioned for the info.

Alex's father's name.

Sorry I have no idea, which is why I've ordered a Marriage Certificate.  Once that's arrived I will be back with further info.

Good point maybe the poster can give us his name anyway.

I've ordered a Marriage Certificate.  And I have found the Death record you mentioned giving his DOB as 1920. 

Is your question directed as me? Whose name do you want?

Thanks everyone for your kind replies.  This side of my family had a lot of issues etc, so there is very little to go on.  It never occurred to me he might be older than I thought, or married previously.  I think some help would be his Marriage Certificate, and I can go from there.  I'll do a bit of digging and keep everyone posted.

Hia folks, I had an Uncle by the name of Alexander Hannah (Alec? Alex? he died before I knew him) died in 1976 in Birmingham (UK) He married in 1963 (not sure if his Widow is still alive so I won't mention her) I have found Birth Records in other parts of the country for an Alexander Hannah around 1940, but can't seem to find anything in and around Birmingham.  He had a Son Alexander John McLaine Hannah (1964-2007) and a daughter (again whom I can't mention)

Shropshire / Re: Stillborn baby possible registration query?

There is a separate Stillbirth Register, NOT available online.

When I applied, some 10 years ago, I had to contact GRO in Southport by phone.
They posted a form which I filled in.
Once they agreed to my request, a Stillbirth Certificate was posted to me.
T's & C's apply.

Information on stillbirths

Thank you, that's very helpful.

Thank you x

Only the mother or father is able to apply for a stillbirth certificate, and they must be named on the certificate.

If the parents are deceased a sibling can apply as long as they can provide the dates of death of their parents.

To apply for the application form for a stillbirth certificate, contact the General Register Office. Further details are available at: www.direct.gov.uk by entering the search terms "stillbirth certificate."

Shropshire / Stillborn baby possible registration query?
« on: Saturday 09 March 24 16:02 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Folks, I'm wondering if anyone else has had this predicament and can guide us in the right direction.  My parents had a full term stillborn baby girl in 1965. They were living in Shropshire (Little Dawley) at the time and they seem to remember it was a hospital in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, where they had the baby.  Now in their 80s (and my oldest sibling would be 60 this year) have often wondered of the possible whereabouts of their first baby's ashes/remains.

My Dad seems to remember "registering" though quite whether it was a Birth or a Death register, he cannot remember.  There is nothing I can find on Ancestry/Free BMD or Find My Past relating to this.

At the time Mom went into a coma and needed a blood transfusion, and never got to see her baby. Dad was asked if he wanted to see her, but he didn't want to at the time.  They've had to live with never knowing or seeing their firstborn, and if they could find out where babies remains ended up, they could possibly visit.

Go to the offending profile & then edit where you can edit the relationship
where you can add alternative parents selecting the correct ones.
You can also delete the spouse & add the correct one.
I haven't tried this as I've never had that problem but seems the way to go.

Thank you for your advice, but that didn't seem to work.  However, when I logged out and back in again, it somehow corrected itself (eventually) strange!!
