I have searched and searched but cannot find a birth certificate for my Grandfather, William Charles Carter, born 30th June 1900, Limehouse London. Parents George Carter, mother Amy Lilian De Grussa, they were married on May 29th 1897 in the Parish of St John Limehouse, Middlesex. Their address at the time was 3 Ebenezer Place. If anyone can help I would be truly grateful. |

If you haven't found a birth certificate, how can you be sure he was born on 30 June 1900, Limehouse, London? Looked on ancestry complete index and no trace of him there. |

Yes, this is the right marriage. I have a copy of this certificate, any trace of a birth certificate for my grandfather?? |

Possibly the birth has not made it to the GRO index. |

I can be sure of this as I have a death certificate and army documents stating his dob, but I just cant trace his actual birth registration. |

If that is the case, does this mean I will be unable to get a copy?? |

Thanks Chris, I have a document which is a Statutory Declation by Parent (Statutory Declation Act 1835) which has been issued in St. Helens, Cheshire and signed by a Justice of the Peace which states my grandads date of birth, and was signed in 1914, which I am guessing is about the time they must have moved from London as my grandad joined the Cheshire Regiment a few years later, so perhaps I could persue this. |

Why go thru the bother of making a statutory declaration and getting it approved by a JP if there's a birth registration knocking around. My guess is that this was done only because the birth was never registered in the first place. |

If the 1901 above is the right one, have you found a birth registration for brother George age 2? |
