The way to get exact dates of birth is to buy birth certs.unless they died after mid-1969, in which case, the DOB (as known) will on the index

Hi,
I have found

Bird Percy. March Quarter 1914 Mothers Name Smith Sedgefield.

The only Gertrude I can find
Bird Gertrude Howard. June Quarter 1890. Gateshead.

Would these date coincide with anything.

Try looking on FreeBMD. You may recognise some places on there.
