Realise this is a relatively old posting but did you try Frankby cemetery? Once Rake lane became full, the County Borough of Wallasey bought land at Frankby for another cemetery.  Still being used to this day.

Simples when you know how.  Ordered one online and await with bated breath. Maybe a coincidence but we have to check.  Thanks for everyone's help and advice.  I'm learning!

Thanks for the replies.  I made one basic error.  I trusted the link that the register office sent in an email.  Have now searched the BMD and sure enough he is there but there is no other information than I already have. I can't understand why this woman who wasn't very helpful at all insisted I needed a reference number?  I do have the district, just thought it best not to mention it, at least until I get what I need!

I'll get there through trial and error plus the very helpful people on here.

It's a long story but my wife thinks she may have a long lost brother.  I have every detail of the child from Genes Reunited, Name, Mothers married name, Mothers maiden name, year he was born, 2nd quarter, volume, page, and line number.  When I tried to request a birth cert online, it asked for date of birth and of course I couldn't give the exact one.  I emailed the registry office involved and they told me to check the free BMD which ended in 1951.  Great, until you realise he was born in 1964.

I phoned the registry office today and explained my predicament.  The lady told me that I had to have a reference number and to look on the free BMD.  I told her it was pointless as it only went up to 1951.  She had no answer to that but insisted I get a reference number.

Perhaps I am being a bit stupid but surely if I have every detail necessary then they should be able to provide me with a certificate without too much trouble?  Personally I have been to registry offices and obtained certificates without all this hassle so why can't I get one this way?

Any thoughts or advice please?
