Hi, Could anyone help me to trace a birth index please. I'm trying to find my great granduncles birth register. I've tried GRO, FreeBmd, FindMyPast, Ancestry and i'm unable to find one anywhere.
His name was Joseph Clapton, born 1880/1881. In the 1881 census he is 6 months old and the family are living at Hooby Lodge Cottage, Stretton, Rutland. He is recorded on there as being born in Carlton, Nottinghamshire as was his older sister. I've found her Birth index as Basford, Nottinghamshire in 1878. The parents names were Charles Clapton 1852-1916 and Catherine Hodgkin 1855-1928. They had 4 other children before him. All Births after Joseph were registered in Grantham, Lincolnshire.
Joseph died on the 30 March 1883, there is an index for that as being registered in Grantham also.
