cas, i sent off again then to walsall for my grandad's birth certficate because of his father being Athur
Dobson and my mom said his birthday was the 15th August and he was born deffernatley in 1907
i had a phone call saying no one was registered there at walsall on that date and the father did'nt exist but they had an Harry Dobson for the 9th august 1907 but i'd have to send to pontypridd glamorgan wales.
The birth certificate came back 9th aug 1907 Father-Elijah Dobson coal miner at 121, dunraven st,
tonypandy, ystradyfodwg and the mother Sarah ann Dobson formerly Lewis.

What i can't understand what's with the arthur being his father on the marriage certificate then that
dawn saying he died in 1933 spanish civil war and i sent her the b/m certificate and a photo of his grave dying in 1977 in my moms home, she's lost now.

This is your grandads death reg.

Harry Dobson Walsall 34 0490 March Q 1977 - DOB 15 Aug 1907

If your mum is correct (she would know her dads birthday), you have the wrong birth cert for Harry Dobson.  You know you have the right marriage cert for your grandparents his father is Arthur. 

Dont think the above info is related to you.  Will see if I can come with anything on freebmd, it could be he was registered as Henry?

There is a birth reg for Harry Dobson Dec Q 1907 Walsall 6b 688. 

It could be he was registered at the end of the 6 wks and it fell in Dec Q, if this ones father is Arthur you are back on the right track...

cas, i don't know how to thank you, i'm realy greatful. I'll be going to walsall this week to get the certificate, cas what's the best thing for me to put down on the sheet for the birth certificate and can
i ask one more favour please,

Is there anything on the parents please.

Cas does it say what area he was born, wales or England

[Cas (stallc)]

The reg above should be enough for the Walsall office to find it, it does not say were born only the reg district. 

I would have a chat tell them his birthday and father is defo Arthur, if these details are correct you know you have the right birth cert for your grandad.

This looks likely.

1901 - RG13/2699/100/59
64 Croft Street, Walsall Staffs

Arthur Dobson, 36, hd, m, ironworker, Walsall
Sarah, wife, 28 Walsall
Sarah A, dau, 2 "
Samuel, son, 9 "
James A, son 3mths "
John Tiff 27, s, bro in law ironworks/pudler walsall

Marriages: Arthur Dobson - Sarah Tift Jun Q 1898 Walsall 6b 1292

Could be second marriage with Samuel age 9?  But if these are your folks looks like Sarah would be the mother of Harry.
