Finding a birth record
« on: Monday 28 September 09 21:05 BST (UK) »
I cannot find a record of my great grandfather's birth, Charles Edward Shufflebottom.  He was supposed to have been born in Manchester in1882. I have sent off for a few certificates but they have been the wrong ones. I have found his sister's birth in L'pool in 1884 & have tried to search for him there too but with no  luck. Is there a possibility that some people do not have their births registered?

Some do not, some get missed off the GRO index or get mis-filed.
Where did the date/place info come from? Can you give us a census perhaps?

Hi and welcome,
There is a Charles Shufflebottom aged 19 in 1891 living in Preston. Could this be him I wonder. His birth would be c1872.

Yes, it's also useful to know just what would make it the 'right' birth cert.
Do we have a father's given details from a marriage or some such document?

Unfortunately I can't give census because he moved to Northern Ireland in 1886. His father is on the 1881 census in Liverpool - also Charles Edward Shufflebottom - blacksmith. He is a widow - he was married previously & his 1st wife died. I can't find a marriage record either for him. His wife is supposed to be from Ireland - although the only records I have for her do not give her age or birthplace. I did wonder if they weren't married but am not sure.

I have got his marriage cert that says his father is blacksmith, he told the family that he was born in manchester, I can't find the records I really want i.e. his parents marriage cert, his birth cert & his mothers death cert.

Is he mis-indexed on 1881?
I can't see him with the info you give...
