i this case he wouldn''t have been registered as registation on came in to effect in 1837 to find his birth you'd need to trail through the parish records

Was not compulsory until 1875. Is this correct? If so it could explain why I can find no entry for my gt gt grandfather born 1804 but have got his marriage and death. HOWEVER according to IGI he had 4 siblings, all with same source information, of whom I'd never heard. Can anyone please shed any light on this??? Seems odd that the parents should register 4 and not the other one.
