As it wasn't compulsary to register births until the 1870's, his parents may not have bothered.

yes he married matilda herron and he is on a census as half brother to joseph pink. i'll get the details just a mo

Did he marry.... If so what was his father's name and occupation ?

Do you have John on any census ...Where?

Although his birth should have been registered, it is possible that it wasn't, but a few clues might lead to a baptism which might show a birth date.

thank you. I cant find the birth of john dunn and havent much to go on. He was born in liverpool about 1854. He died March 1906 in Bury Lancashire.
so i thought if I got hisdeath cert it may give me more clues.

To put it bluntly. In England and Wales

No and No

The certificate will have the age at death, as known to the informant. I think the dob was included about 1965 [edit - Gwyn says 1969]

You can only view the details of a death certificate by purchasing it - either at the issuing Register Office, or from http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

If this is England, No the date of birth was not added until 1969.

You cannot view certificates free, but the index will show age at death, as given by the informant.
NB......This is not always correct age, even when informant is a close relative.

Does anyone know if the date of birth will be on the death certificate in 1906? If so could I view the death cert at the reg office for free?
