I think you'd need to send for the birth certificate for all the details. The index only has the information which John has already quoted. To get a certificate, you need the references, which you can get from this site's new search page. https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/ Margaret On 12/05/2017 15:18, Chris Bowden via DERBYSGEN wrote: Hi John, thank you for your information. I am not surprised that the mothers name is blank but this is very interesting and I wondered whatever happened to this Henry. How do I access the GRO index which has the details and would it contain the fathers name? regards Chris Bowden On 12/05/2017 13:46, John Cresswell wrote: Hi Chris Did you know that the GRO has an online index giving mothers maiden name. In your case I think the entry has a hyphen indicating usually the same surname, and possibly out of marriage.
