I thinks its very unlikely that the register office will let you see the actual registers. You can narrow the search a bit by loooking for matching births and deaths in the records online, but its still a needle in a haystck search. |

You don't get to see any pages at all at Birmingham. I've no idea about getting them in person from other offices but you just fill in the standard request form. |

You need to start by looking for infant deaths before you try to identify the birth |

Before I posted, I did input deaths Bham area 1901 to Mar1911 with a view to seeing how many infant deaths there were. Far too many. |

If you google B'ham rego office, you'll see the local office will accept the GRO ref. My guess is they have a cheat sheet to find which of their regos to look in, so for each quarter, the sheet says All Saints 101-111, Birmingham 112-133, Edgbaston 134-144, etc thru all their subdistricts. They would have a seperate set of pages for Bs and Ds. (Ms are a bit difft, as there there aren't subdistrict regos, but church regos so there'ld be a page range for each church). Now you know the Apr 1911 subdistrict, and the Feb 1905 subdistrict. Hopefully, they're the same, and the same for the B & D of the missing kid. |

One way of trying to eliminate some would be to make a note of the registration district where your gt grandparents were living in both the 1901 and 1911 census and search for infant deaths in those districts first. As you've said, you can use the dates of your gt grandparents marriage, and your nans birth to rule some others out. |

Got this Zena. I have looked at Google Maps and George Street West still exists. Most of it is 'modern' with the exception of a row of much older houses that were probably considered too nice to destroy. I have a copy of Wakelin's Street Guide 1942 which tells me that it actually ran from between 101 Spring Hill and Pitsford Street. If you look at the map it cuts off now and doesn't run all the way. You might try contacting Birmingham Central Library and asking if they can see from any of their historical maps if they can place the house exactly. |
