hi Roz, I can't check the baptisms as they will be in the parish records but I can look on Ancestry etc. It won't give father's name, just the quarter & district. I'm not aware of any lists that give more free details. I'm off to bed now but I'll have a look tomorrow if no-one else finds anything.

I'm not in a financial position to be able to purchase certificates, so i'm hoping there is a way of looking at the baptism records?

If Horace's birth wasn't registered we won't find him in any BMD list. I can have a look on Ancestry if you like. Jane Roz Jones wrote: Hi, I'm trying to trace the family of my great grandfather, Horace BAILEY. Horace was born in 1898, but his birth was never registered, nor was he christened/baptised. He had one brother, John/Jack (middle initial H) and one sister (Winifred) - and a younger half brother. I think i might have the birth certificate for Jack, but i'm not in a financial position to purchase one for Winifred. Anyway, Their father was William Henry Bailey, a gas fitter. The birth certificate reads: born 11 august 1906 at 14 Mount Pleasant Grove, Camden Street, Birmingham (in all saints district) name John Henry Sex Male Name of father William Henry BAILEY Name of mother Emily BAILEY formerly WHITTINGHAM occupation of father Builders Carter It was Emily who registered the birth on 17 September 1906 Call it gut instinct, but i believe Horace is illegitimate Thanks in advance Roz __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo!
