Thanks for your replies.
How would I go about getting a birth certificate for Francis aged 8?
I feel sure these are mine, but need to confirm somehow.

Check freebmd.............IF the birth was registered, you can order through the site......follow the links

BUT........birth registration wasn't compulsory until 1875

EDIT...........you are in luck! The birth is on freebmd
