London Birth Records for 1888

[Jacalynj]

Want to know where i can look or get somebody to look up a Birth from 1888 in London. I have conflicting information from family about my Grandmothers name.
I believe it to be Martha Eliza STOW but others say Martha Elizabeth STOW. Any suggestions please. 😁

Can I find out parents and exact birth date from these records?

 

[DaveHam9]

Not all records are fully filed in so it's a bit pot luck.

The 1888 birth should have the full date. If you decide to order from GRO then ask for a .pdf rather than have a paper certificate posted.

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/faq.asp

1. Details contained on a full birth certificate include:
• Name, date and place of birth.
• Father's name (if given at time of registration), place of birth and occupation.
• Mother's name, place of birth, maiden surname and, after 1984, occupation.
Please note that registrations made before 1969 do not include details of the parents’ place
of birth and mother’s occupation.

You can only get exact date of birth from the actual certificate otherwise you get birth registration quarter(can be a quarter out ie december birth registered January quarter next year)
