Hi Tammy, Following on from Dai's message it is also important to remember that not all births were registered in during the period 1837-1870 and for those that were, not all registers reached the General Records Office. You might have better luck contacting the Nottingham Registry Office. You can write to them at ; The Registrar, Nottingham Registry Office 50, Shakespeare Street, Nottingham NG1 4FQ. Give them all the detail you can. Great hobby this - drives you mad at times!!
