According to the information on Genuki, the Meriden Registration documents are transferred. You can find the details on http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/meriden.html There is a link to the new offices, with email, so you could email and check they have those files before applying. Alternatively, order a certificate on-line direct from ONS. HTH.

Thank you for your quick response. The registration District on my grandfathers entry of birth is West Bromwich, sub-district of Oldbury, in the county of Worcester. Where born New Meeting (?) Street Oldbury. The informant was his mother who gave her mark and her residence was New Meeting Street, Oldbury. It was suggested by someone that perhaps they didn't register on time and therefore used a different date for his birth in order to avoid the late fine. His older sister Mary verified that he was born on 5 July 1867 when he needed security clearance to work as a watchman in an oil refinery in Richmond, California during WWII. His many descendants used to hold huge celebrations for his birthday in July. It wasn't until 1991 that we discovered the birth certificate at St. Catherine's House with the October date. We look forward to seeing that area.

I get the impression that a few workhouses had what might be called "courtesy addresses". My father's birth certificate records he was born at 8 Waen Cottages, Conway which sounds very nice. It was, in fact, part of the Workhouse - presumably this address was given to avoid the stigma of "Workhouse" on a birth certificate?

All I can say on workhouse v polite address is that on recent transcribing of burial records at Atherstone (don't all shout, it isn't done by any means yet - we will announce when they are!) we often found the workhouse referred to by its street name and number. Another entry in same period would say "workhouse", but most didn't. Of course, the workhouse often had the only medical facility and some would be there because of illness which begs the question if entries on death certs varied according to the reason someone was at the "workhouse"? Perhaps a subject for a thesis for someone!!!!

Hi, I am wondering if anybody would know, but my father in law was born in March 1937, and his 2 sisters always thought that they were all born at home. My father in law recently passed away, and have his original birth certificate and there is a different address, it is 1B Raddlebarn Road, Selly Oak. I am hoping that somebody may know if there was a hospital there or if it was a house address. Any help would be appreciated as I live in Australia. Thanks Bev

G'day All I have been preparing an 1861 piece to go online on Pickards Pink Pages www.hunimex.com/warwick This is piece RG9 2164 The last District on this piece ED49 has several pages which appear to have been lost very early on as the Folio numbers are consecutive Pages 33 to 40 are missing so the records of approx 200 people are lost. ( confirmed by the enumerator's tally pages) Sod's Law says this will include YOUR ancestor- sorry I shall contact TNA to see if they have any idea of where the pages may have ended up. However, I dont hold out much hope as the last 2 pages seem to have suffered water damage. On a brighter note A recent entry in the 1861 census for Birmingham included a small boy aged 2 years -birthplace unknown - who had been adopted by a family named Thorley- (fruiterers ) There is a note added " A foundling picked up on the street" they named him Henry Providence. God blest you Henry -I hope you had a good life Cheers Wendy Boland Co-ordinator Warwickshire 1861 census and FreeREG Transcription Teams

I was born at 3 The Butts, Warwick in 1954 and I think my sister was born there in 1957. I assume there was some kind of nursing home as quite a lot of births took place there.
