Hello....
It is now more than 100 years since he was born and privacy legislation may now not apply. If you haven't already done so, you might try contacting the Gov't at this link and ask them if ordering a cert with the DOB you have (quote it) would be possible? Contact email link is at the lower right.

The BC Vital Statistics Agency have advised the following which may be of interest to other researchers:
- It is possible to request the birth record of someone who has been deceased for more than 20 years.
- VSA do not issue the actual birth certificate for deceased persons - they issue a "birth/deceased certificate ... which contains the same information as a birth certificate."
It was not clear from the response if the details on the "birth/deceased certificate" would be any different from the details on the death registration. It was also not clear from the response if a BC birth registration for Robert actually exists. As I have not been able to find Robert on the 1921 census the birth details on the death registration may be erroneous.
However, based on the form they sent me (which is the same as the one linked on the web site) you need to be a verified relative, the executor or have the written authorisation of an eligible applicant to apply which rules me out.
