GRO does have an overseas branch which receives records of events which took place abroad for Brits. However, this does depend on the efficiency of the overseas country who may send details immediately, may send them weeks, months or years later, or never send them at all. |

You can find the GRO references for Army births abroad on the Findmypast website. You then order in the normal way from the GRO but remember to click "overseas births" when starting to order. |

Some time ago I ordered a 1940 overseas marriage cert from GRO...the marriage took place in Palestine. |
