Default Finding parents 1920s

Is there anyway, apart from FreeBMD, to find children with just the father’s surname and MMN?

The GRO site:
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/c...xes_search.asp

Also Ancestry and Findmypast. And FamilySearch. And some of the local BMD sites.

FindMyPast. Civil Births can be searched like that. And provide results from 1837 onwards.

Thanks. I don’t have FMP but will try GRO. My last ancestor came here in 1870 so I have no idea how to search newer ones.

Now completely lost. This man is still alive so won’t post name. I have his birthdate according to him, 1926.
I have him on FreeBMD and Ancestry but not on GRO, although his older brother is on GRO.

He is my son in laws grandfather and trying to get back from him. I’ve told them they will need to buy his birth cert but how do they get it if it isn’t on GRO.

Or am I blind?

This man was born April 1926. His late brother, Charles EATON, born 1925 is on GRO with MMN Moore.
My man is on FreeBMD same MMN.

There is also a few other siblings but not sure of their names and old age and forgetfulness has impeded the search.

My man has a middle name that fits well with a EATON family I found but my man says that is not his father’s name and I’m stuck.
So…how do I order a birth cert I can’t find on GRO?

Found the younger brother on GRO in 1931. No sign of my man.

Supposed to be in Doncaster if anyone is looking.

I can see him on Free BMD so I assume he is mistranscribed on the GRO
Using phonetically similar names does not cough him up

I would go on the GRO site, state that you know the index reference, and request the certificate using the information on Free BMD because the GRO just askes for the name, year, quarter, district volume and page, and all that is in Free BMD
