Hi
I am trying to find birth record of my husbands granddad. I know he was married to Irene Winifred V Freegard in Dover 1926 and he died at the age of 68. He came from Helston Cornwall and he was born 4th July we think 1902/03 but we can't find any birth records at all. Can anyone help please?
His name was Joseph Ernest Buzza

He may have 'come from' Helston....but was he known to have been born in the UK?

No sign of him on 1911 census

Hi
As far as we know yes he was born in Cornwall his father was born in Oz but came back to the UK with his parents . I have a feeling he may well of been adopted. We just recently visited a family member who first said about him fibbing when he was born, then about he didn't look anything like his brother that we once visited back in the 80's that he was very secretive and when his children were young there were people who wanted to adopt them but he was very against it. We tried to get more info from her but either she didn't know certain things or didn't want to tell.
I came across a Joseph Ernest Buzza that states he was adopted but don't know if this is him.

No my husbands sister said she had all the different certs but wouldn't offer any info. It was a really difficult conversation trying to get info out of her.

For guidance Irene's birth?
:
Name Irene Winifred V Freegard
Year of Registration 1908
Quarter of Registration Oct-Nov-Dec
Registration District Plymouth
Registration County Devon
Mother's maiden name
Volume Number 5B
Volume Page 238

Is year of marriage correct as 1926 as Irene would have been aged18 (needed parental consent) at that time?

Have you told your sil that you plan to buy the relevant certs and it would be so much cheaper if she could share what she already has?

No we haven't we asked if we could photograph anything she had and she just went of the subject. I said to my husband about giving her a ring to see if she would tell us the name of her granddad on her father's side then we may be able to find more info that way. He is a bit reluctant to ask certain questions as he thinks she doesn't want to go into detail.
