No it will not

Any birth cert relates only to the child whose birth is registered.

The parents' full names will be recorded as will the father's occupation

Both of your threads are about the same person..................so are considered duplicates

To find later children, use the known info to look for records on freebmd........

Once you have confirmed the father's name, see if there are surviving WW1 service records. A large percentage were burnt in WW2 bombing, but you may be lucky

Assuming he did serve, If the full record has survived, you may find that there is correspondence on his discharge, giving the current address at that time.

As you have the address of your grt grandfather on his marriage, you could research that on the ER. These are likely to be held at an Archive, or main public library. If there are other Hill's living there, you can track forward and backwards until you lose them. ER are only searchable by address.

Confirm his siblings by purchasing their BC, then their MC and do the same with the addresses.

Be warned.... the cost of all these certificates may hurt your wallet!
