More specifically FreeBMD, Paul. Did you do the search there?

Tania did it in your other thread and posted the one Thacker-Bate birth showing. I just checked the full 1916-1985 index at Ancestry and it's the only one. Here it is again:

Births Jun 1923 (>99%)
Thacker Robert H Bate Cannock 6b 846

I haven't educated myself on your entire thread I'm afraid but that seems to be the answer to that question.

I've looked at Ancestry for a death for a Robert H Bate born 1923, up to 2005, but there doesn't seem to be one. I wonder about WWII. Well no, I'm stupid, he was Thacker, not Bate. And this is his death I would think

Name: Robert Henry Thacker
Birth Date: 11 Mar 1923
Death Registration Month/Year: Oct 1989
Age at death (estimated): 66
Registration district: Bromsgrove
Inferred County: Worcestershire
Volume: 29
Page: 148

Since the parties are undoubtedly deceased I'll post this marriage, which is the only good match by time and place

Name: Robert H Thacker
Spouse Surname: Sparkes -- Patricia J Sparkes
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1947
Registration district: Droitwich
Registration county (inferred): Worcestershire
Volume Number: 9d
Page Number: 178

And they too had one child in 1952. Is this what you're looking for, descendants? The birth info can be sent to you privately if so.
