Philip Anthony Horton b1927 d1993
« on: Sunday 27 June 10 14:34 BST (UK) »
Sorry, still haven't worked out where to post what!
Am looking for any info on this person, born Birmingham, Warwickshire, England - as to who his ancestors were (I have his wife already).
Many thanks!!

negritaspider:

You can search for a birth registration on FreeBMD (it is there):
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

This birth is at the period where the index shows the mother's maiden name, so from there you can search for a marriage with the same surnames and for siblings (same combination of mother's maiden name and surname). That will take you a generation back. If you have access to the census you can look for his parents & so on.

Given the area you may find more detail on this site:
http://www.bmsgh.org/wmbmd/

Like FreeBMD it is incomplete

Many thanks both of you - have now found it on BMD, can't understand why the birth didn't come up before......
Have also logged all the siblings.
Thanks again!

I got no results like you on my first search,I put in his full name added the birth between  Dec 1926 & December 1927 And born county and got nothing I think that was because there wasn't a Philip Anthony Horton.Only an initial so I deleted his first Names and left the rest as was .Sometimes if we are to precise it wont come up with anything so I just put surnames in.
