Hi, I'm looking for my grandfathers parents, he (Sidney Henry N Roberts) was born in Gibraltar on 25 March 1915, and moved to England, living in Thanet, Kent.

Trying to find his birth record is the only way I can think of, to be able to discover his parents names, the only trouble I have is that the records I can find are all too early. Unfortunately I am now unable to ask him directly and my Dad doesn't know their names either. Is there someone who would be able to shed some light somehow?

Many thanks

Caroline

Either your date is slightly off, or the registration authorities made an error, or were very slow in registering the birth, but it wouldn't have mattered much in this case, because there's only one birth that it could be, and if you had applied to the UK General Register Office ( GRO ) with the information that you had, they could have easily found the correct birth registration.
