Does anyone know why I'm not able to find a birth record? I've been looking for my great grandad's birth record for so long now and nothing has come up. I ordered one but it ended up being the wrong man.
His death record and a school record state his birth year is 1883. All his other records state 1884. His birth date is definitely August 28th.
The census says he was born in Wollescote, Worcestershire.
So if I can find all these other records for him, why is the birth record so hard time find? Am I doing something wrong in my research?
