	Birth certificates are NOT on any site......anywhere Birth registrations are indexed on various sites. The ONLY way to see the certificate is to fork out £9.25 to buy it

	The records available on line show your name and your mothers maiden name - plus the Volume and Page from the GRO record. For fathers detail and other info (address, exact date of birth), you have to buy the cert. Andy

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18 042 Send Message	Elizabeth - you need to buy a copy of your certificate. You MUST edit that last post to remove your surname and year of birth. Not a good idea to put personal info on a public forum.

Member Since: April 2011 Posts: 11 Send Message	A free site ??

	You can't see the detail on any website . The only way is to buy the cert. Andy
Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 9 301 Send Message	Ozibird	Report	20 Apr 2011 21:48
Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 9 301 Send Message	Yes. On the cert are spaces for the father's name, and the mother's name including her maiden name. Ozi P.S. "Looked it up on here", does that mean this website? Have you looked on www.freebmd.org.uk?

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18 042 Send Message	Elizabeth, Ozi and Andy have answered your question. If the name's not on your certificate, it isn't going to be anywhere else, sadly. Edit: I gather you mean you've found your birth registration record? If so, the surname is usually the father's name and the mother's maiden name is also listed. If the surname and the mother's maiden name is the same then that usually implies that the mother was unmarried.

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 9 301 Send Message	Also, have you actually got the certificate? Ozi
Member Since: April 2011 Posts: 11 Send Message	ELIZABETH	Report	20 Apr 2011 21:47
Member Since: April 2011 Posts: 11 Send Message	So what you are saying that normal birth certificates on here have 2 names
Member Since: April 2011 Posts: 11 Send Message	ELIZABETH	Report	20 Apr 2011 21:46
Member Since: April 2011 Posts: 11 Send Message	is there a way on this site to see both names ?
Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 9 301 Send Message	Ozibird	Report	20 Apr 2011 21:45
Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 9 301 Send Message	You only have one birth cert, Elizabeth. If it doesn't have your father's name, unless your mother told you, you won't find it. Ozi

Member Since: April 2011 Posts: 11 Send Message	I have found my birth ertificate but it only shoew my mothers name , i need to find one with my fathers name on
Member Since: February 2003 Posts: 12 081 Send Message	Andrew	Report	20 Apr 2011 21:43
	BUT.....if the child was born outside of wedlock, the fathers name is usually missing. Andy
