Thanks - even though I can't find the birth I want in Holborn. Siblings were born in Finsbury, Paddington and St Ann, Soho so I guess I'll have to bulk buy certs just in case!! I am looking for parents of William Bradley b 1939 - father was Richard 1810, mother Sophia1811-1848 and William is the only hope of finding her maiden name Peter
