Welcome to the boards, Peter.

There won't be a birth certificate, so far back. The best you can hope for will be a parish record of baptism.

How have you worked back to him? Have you found him on censuses?
Do you know his wife's name (if any)?

Is this possibly his death?:

I am new to site and have traced back to my great, great grandfather Joseph Stanley, born in 1815 in Wellingborough district but cannot access his birth certificate to enable me to go back further. How do I obtain details of ancestors prior to 1815?
