when i was doin the tree i got john of the censusand obviously his brothers and sisters, i sent of for the birth cert and came back with a different dad and a mother was named but in the census i found his dad was also john and no mother so im finding it all a bit confusing as to know which one is right,, iv had another look throuhg the census and i keep comin up with the same info i had before and this one so im no nearer to findin out which one is right, iv also got his death cert and his brother was there when he died so thats no help really

If there were post 1875 any siblings, then these births would be registered ,so you may have to work around the family to find the right parents

If he married then the cert should name his father,if known .plus hopefully his age is shown ,unless its when the age was put as of full age or minor.
Births pre 1875 may not have been registered so you may not necessarily find a birth cert. Presume you have started where you know the info is correct and worked back .
