Hello,
I am searching for the birth record for William Tilbrook, born in Newport, I of W, in 1879.
Son of James Tilbrook, a soldier, and his wife Mary Ann (last name unknown).
Any help would be very greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
MrsK

Dear Nell and Kerry, (I hope you don't mind me answering you both together)
Oh my gosh. You both responded so quickly! Thankyou ever so much. Two questions answered at once.
May I ask another? Because he was in a military family, would I find his birth certificate in military files or elsewhere? Do you know where I would apply for it?
I live in the US and it is sometimes difficult to find out things from here. For instance, I can't get to Kew very easily!!

Thank you Suz. William is the youngest and the only sibling born in the UK. Maybe, once I find him, I can also find the other three birth records. They were all apparently born wherever their father was stationed. Now that I have their mother's maiden name (thank you Little Nell), it might make it easier.
Isabella Jane born in Athlone, Ireland in 1872 (my great grandmother)
Charles Alex born in Kurrachee, India circa 1875
Mary Ann born in Poona India circa 1877
