Does anyone know if some births went unregistered in the early 1900's? I'm searching for a birth record which I know happened in 1912 or 1913 but I can't find a match. Free Bmd say that all the births in those years should be accessible so is it possible that the birth could be unregistered or is that not allowed to happen? |

It could have got "lost" between the local register office and the GRO - I had that recently with one of my dad's second cousins. We knew he existed but I never found his birth registration by looking through the quarterly images on Ancestry - it only showed up when Ancestry did that big update of searchable names about a month ago. |

Can you apply to the local register office, if you know it? They wont charge if the specified details are wrong. And some offices are stars in that they will look for you free of charge. |

I went to the GRO recently and looked up all the births for my dad's siblings. |

I knew that my Gran had lost a child at an early age (around 1910) but it took me three years to find the birth and death. Small details can make all the difference. I think most people took registration very seriously from about 1860 onward so be persistent. |

My grandfather's brother was born in 1891. I have just found his birth as a late registration in DQ 1939, but I am still missing several of the childrens' birth registrations. I know my grandfather's birth was not registered as he emigrated in 1952 and they used an "Official Copy" of the 1901 census to prove his age. |
