If George Fitton was born circa 1807 then there won't be a birth certificate. Civil registration only came into being in July 1837, so all you will possibly find is a baptism record. |

There is this marriage on the IGI which could be the parent's marriage for the baptism above, although the spelling on the surname is slightly different:- |

What makes you think he was born in Salford? Have you found him in any census? |

Can you tell us which census you found him in and where he was living at the time? |

As PatinCyprus says, he wouldn't have a birth certificate. Are you sure you aren't confusing it with a baptism certificate?? |
