Hi, I've just started helping a friend with his family tree and have a problem already! We are unable to find any birth records of his great grandfather, Charles Alexander Burleigh Robson b abt 1882. All the information we have of him is from his son's death records from WW2.

 Major Charles Alexander ROBSON, given as aged 29 and born in India on his
death cert. (KIA in Italy in 1944).
 Father, 2nd Lieutenant Charles Alexander Burleigh ROBSON (known as
Charles), 2nd Battalion of the Royal Irish Fusiliers stationed in India after the
Boer war until leaving for France in December 1914. Died of wounds 8th November
1917.
Charles Alexander Burleigh Robson seems to have been a career army man which makes me wonder if his father (mentioned in his WW1 death records as Charles Burleigh Robson of Newcastle) had also been in the Services and they were also born abroad...

Can anyone suggest a route to follow? It doesn't help having so many people with the same name!! I have also posted on the general board just in case!

Any help finding these mens' births would be much appreciated!
