Title: Birstall Birth Records 1946
Post by: The_Barron on Wednesday 21 June 23 12:53 BST (UK)
Hi all

Apologies if this has been covered i did search but couldn’t find anything.

Trying to trace Birstall Birth records for 1946. The Leicester Council Records Office website states they do not have records from 01/07/1837-01/10/1949 (or rather they have before and after if you follow my logic).

Does anyone know where/if these records can be accessed or why they are not available at the main RO?

Thanks in advance!

You need to purchase birth certificates direct from the GRO at Southport, you can get them digitally on their website

We have tried that but they have said they do not have record of this particular birth so hitting a bit of a dead end…

Any advice welcome. Happy to provide specifics as person in question is unfortunately deceased.

If that birth registration for 1946 is not available then maybe the person appears under another name.
When did the parents marry

ADDED As they are deceased you can post the details here  :)
