I cannot seem to get back before my 4x gr grandfather, born 1799 in Ribchester Lancashire. I think I have determined his parents marriage in Ribchester, but I need t be sure, hence I am wondering what information I could glean from sending for 4x gr grandfather's birth certificate?
Would both his parents names and their address or place of origins be on it?
I ask because I cannot find his father's birth in Ribchester, and I am now thinking he may be from somewhere else? Would that information be on the birth certificate?
Nothing seems to fit from LancashireOPC or Familysearch .org

You will not get a birth certificate prior to 1837.
Who is it you are looking for
-
Thankyou for your reply Rosie99.
Ah, that's a shame, how are we supposed to go forward, or in this case backward?
I am looking for a William Gorner (variations of Gornall) his wife is Ellen. Their son is Abraham Gorner(Gornall) born 1799 in Ribchester.

Thankyou KGarrard, That's who I think is his parents. But how would I know for sure? I cannot find a William, born in Ribchester that fits the timeline, so I am thinking he came from elsewhere?
Also I noticed it says, Junior William Gorner, so can I take it his father was also a William Gorner?

Same website, different search, gives:
Baptism: 9 Nov 1799 St Peter and St Paul, Ribchester, Lancashire, England
Abraham Gorner - filius Gulmi Gorner & Ellenae
Godparents: Ricardus Rishton; Jana Goring
Register: Baptisms 1783 - 1805, Page 29, Entry 1

St Peter & St Paul was a Roman Catholic church - hence the names in Latin.
There is information about the church here:

Scroll down for info re the Parish Registers.

Having junior I would say his father was also William.
You can never be 100% sure but generally following back in the same parish you are reasonably safe.
The problem comes when first names are repeated down the line & siblings are all calling their children after their parents.
