Yes the site is a bit slow for me but not to worry as it must be getting lots and lost of requests for searches. Already I have found a few missing siblings for just a few names. I will be busy this weekend. Such new genealogy databases are like winning the pools.

Thanks for the link. Still hunting the two children that died that my great grandmother listed on the 1911 census. I've used the surname and mother's maiden name but only the three living children are listed with registered births so back to the drawing board.

I know this is a stupid question but I have a child Henry James ?, I have never found his birth, he is not listed under his elder siblings surname, I know his mother's maiden name and year of birth and possible place of birth, just by chance I offered this info up to the new GRO site, nothing came up as I obviously need a surname, any ideas how to find this child, I have searched for over 20 years to no avail, I have him on every census, marriage and death, he was born in 1874, all siblings born prior to this date are registered under a different surname to those born after him

I know a stupid question but I thought someone might come up with a good idea

The Births only go up to 1911 - not that I am complaining at all.  This is a fantastic free resource.

And the verification  notice that says it is available for 24 hours doesn't mean you have to re-register after that time.  It is just that 24 hours is the time you have to actually verify your registration by clicking the link they sent in an email.

When I've got a problem with the surname, I use free bmd, put in the christian name(s), choose a date range and either a county or a registration district.

Have you tried doing that?

Good that you can do a 2 years date range search of all births in a district (Eg Smith 1840-1844) and get all the mmns at the same time. Handy for less common names such as Wallaker in Rochford 1840-1844, any mmns are Salmon and Ashby.

Hi louisa maud

Does he live beyond the 1939 register ? If you have his exact DoB from that , providing it was correct, you could narrow a search down to a certain Qtr in the year, and as girl guide says, just use his forenames  - you have a possible area too - whatever surnames come up - by process of elimination - try each one with this new index you may strike lucky if the maiden name you have was used.
