I have a birthdate of 30 june, 1865, which quarter of the UK BDM’s would I need to get to confirm this? Dianne

Doesn't really make any difference whether it is 20th or 30th June. It could be 2nd Quarter or 3rd Quarter - most likely, 2nd quarter. You may find it difficult to locate on the GRO as the records at that time were very difficult to read and many were missed out. The families were given 42 days to register a child but if the parents weren't married and the father was at sea (or elsewhere) they could well lie! My MIL was born on 2nd March but as her partner was at sea and didn't come home until it was too late, rather than pay the fine, they told the Registrar that she was born on 9th March. They married after they'd had 6 children and went on to have a total of 11.
