Alexander Campbell Birth, Monmouth?

[Mazz]

 
Hi,
       can anyone help me with this problem?
I am looking for the birth of ALEXANDER CAMPBELL, I have him on the 1871 Census for Middlesbrough, Low east st.  It says he was born abt 1864 in Monmouth, Wales. I know his mother was ELIZABETH CAMPBELL but not sure about his father, Elizabeth married DANIEL DAVIES in Stockton reg office 1865. Her father was JAMES CAMPBELL.
CAN ANYONE HELP?
THANKS,
MAZZ

Hi Mazz, as you have his mothers name and an approx DofB have you approached the local registry office to see if they have any record? - just a thought

Hi Wendy, I havent as I dont know where in Mon he was born!  I live in the Northeast of England and I really dont know much abt Monmouth..
Any sugestions?

Sorry I thought you meant Monmouth Town not the county of Monmouthshire, perhaps try one at a time Monmouth and then Newport M

The contact info for all the registry offices is on

Should have made it clear that they are not necessarily the only 2 registry offices in Monmouthshire, but they are the two I'd try first.

OH thanks Wendy I will do that now.

Mazz, apparently you can also ask the GRO to search, although it does cost.  I read it in a post the other day, but it has taken me a while to find it.

It's at http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,86774.msg365524.html#msg365524

Where CatOne said
"If you apply to the GRO in writing, specifying childs and fathers name, rather than online, for an extra few pounds (was about £4 last time I did it, so total for certificate was £11.50 I think) they'll "search" the year you think she was born, plus a year either side, for the correct birth with matching father."

Perhaps the same applies if you know the mothers name it might be worth asking

 In 1861 there is an Elizabeth Campbell aged 24 unmarried ,in service in Bedwelty parish Monmouthshire.RG9 4001 F 73 P 12.
She is at 3 Watchmakers Row Rumney About 4 miles from Penydarren
Her place of birth is given as Glamorgan ,Pendarren(i think).
If she gave birth to Alexander in the vicinity then the Registration district from
July 1861 for Bmd purposes would have been Bedwelty Monmouthshire.
