Hi everyone
I am trying to get birth certificate details of a Harry Sidney Green I have his death certificate which shows he died in September 1916 aged 28 years so that would make his birth year 1888 He would have been born in Islington or Bethnal Green area of London.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Could this be a possibility?

Was Harry a casualty of war?

I couldn't find a Harry Sidney Green registered in London in 1888. The name Harry is often used for Henry if it's any help.

Hi
Took your advice that Harry could be used for Henry and you were spot on, found him with the Islington details you supplied. Thanks again
