Freebmd.org.uk is exactly what it says in the tin..........Free!

You might have clicked on one of the adverts at the top. That could have led you to Ancestry which *is* a subscription site.

Have another go. Just click on the following link as that will take you to the search page
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

To see the details on any certificate, then for this time periiod, yes you will have to pay for them. Each certificate costs £9.25 and should only be purchased from
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/
Use the reference numbers you found on freebmd.

Have you ordered the MC?

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl shows 5 Robinson/Tuffin births 1960-1970. 2 of them could be twins. They may not all be the children of that marriage although the ones born in Ware probably are

You could use the names to search trees, facebook or other networking sites

Hi Rose and patchem

Didn't see anything on here about his birth other than it was in 1936 or I wouldn't have suggested that death.

I'll just edit my previous post. :-)

Thanks, Rose.

Found them, but some of those dates on the ancestry thread look wrong.

Mary,

That death would correspond to this birth, and Rose has him born Hitchin/Letchworth not Bishops Stortford.,

Births Mar 1936
ROBINSON Michael W Pulham B.Stortford 3a 1329

However, cannot see birth for 2 brothers and a sister for the Sep 1936 birth. (Unless half-siblings?)

Contrary Mary,

With Michael's birth being registered in the September quarter, it's unlikely to be him.

More like this one, don't you think?

Do you have an exact date of birth for him? There is a death in 1999 with a dob of 5th Feb 1936 which could possibly be him?

Edit: Ignore the above - it's not the right person.
