Dorset / Re: Gerrards of Beaminster, Dorset

Hi R Snelling.  I have been researching my wife's family tree.  Her maternal grandfather is Albert Henry Gerrard (1889-1966).  Albert's father is the elusive John Gerrard - hence the interest in obtaining John's birth certificate.

Thanks crisane - I'd noticed that the format of the GRO website had changed, but hadn't realised that the search facilities had been changed - a massive improvement in my opinion.

Thanks again crisane.  I think I have come to the same conclusion as you, and will accept (for the time being...) that John's birth was not recorded.  By the way, how did you come to the conclusion that the 1855 index entry is associated with 'Yeatman'?

Thanks for the rapid reply crisane.  Yes, that's the John I'm interested in. I've found him in several census entries, (but not the service record, thank you!).  I've been specifically trying to get a copy of his birth certificate, but despite trawling through several years of the Birth Indexes have been unable to find a possible entry - hence my previous post.

Has anybody managed to track down the birth certificate of John Gerrard who was born in Paddington, Middlesex (circa 1860), and who's death certificate records his death in Chelsea as 6th November 1897 at the age of 37?  Needless to say, I've browsed the Civil Registration Index but have been unable to find John's birth entry.  Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer me.  Tony.
