Help with Index Reference

Hi

I wonder if someone would kindly help with some information that is on Find My Past web site.
It is under the heading - British Nationals Born Overseas 1818- 2005.

It is the Birth of Glyn E Williams - born 10 April 1965 - Wegberg Germany.

If someone is able to tell me the references or Indexes to order the certificate.

Thank you very much.

Norma

Hi Norma,

When ordering overseas certificates from the GRO, I seem to remember that most if not all of the reference is in a free-format field, so the information you need to give them is as follows:

Index to Consular Births 1961-65; Consulate - Wegberg; Volume - 59; Page - 1039

I don't think the overseas section at the GRO is quite so pressurised as the England & Wales section, and they're not so strict about the format in which information is entered. The above, plus the name, should be sufficient.
