Did your father die in Portsmouth area?

There is a registration in 1996 for someone born November 1933 .

A definite birthdate might help find his birth certificate.
Were his parents in the Services?

Sorry I have looked through all the Consular,Army and at Sea births and I can't find his birth..

Do you know if he had any sisters and brothers that were born in India.???

Also have you searched the trees on here for either of his parents...???

Have you got your late fathers death certificate which will give his date of birth and where he was born...???

I know you really want to find his birth cert but you have threads already on the boards for this. One thread per family request is the rule. and repeating it wont find any more info .
