Tracing birth entry at GRO

[Retriever]

I'm looking for a birth registration that appears on FreeBMD but doesn't come up when I input the details into the GRO site.

I'm trying to think of a way to bring up the relevant page by tracing someone else.

If anyone can help I'm looking for Clement Bertie Standeven, registered Pancras, 1b 55, March 1896.

STANDWEN, CLEMENT  BERTIE     THORPE 
GRO Reference: 1896  M Quarter in PANCRAS  Volume 01B  Page 55

Many thanks Rosie.

It's definitely Standeven on FreeBMD. I must learn to be more open minded re names.

But they have got Bertie spelt wrong 
Births Mar 1896 
Standeven    Clement Bertire        Pancras    1b   55

I think that I have read somewhere that the GRO sometimes uses a different source for the index to that used by freebmd.   Sometimes a handwritten copy is available to view and other times it is typed on freebmd

I can forgive the mistake with Bertie. It is probably the only time I’ve seen one on the site.

This head of this family started out as Frederic Standeven Gee. Goodness knows what happened to Gee but it’s got me confused.

Freebmd like FindMyPast are really good at amending their errors.  I report errors to both and they are changed quite quickly.

I think gro will look at their ‘errors’ too

He got into a bit of trouble (article 23rd May 1931)

As a matter of interest were Fred's parent's George & Eliza.

Good grief, the things you can find out about family members. Luckily not close family,

Thank you for that. What a rogue.

I will have a look tomorrow re Fred’s parents.
