Thanks..sorry wasn't able to sign in over the past few days. All the above info is a great help. The birth cert hopefully will arrive soon. so really its when there is a father mentioned of the person you are tracing or getting a birth cert for is what you really need. Regards Susan

Just to let you all know my Dads birth cert arrived today..it reads Henry John Brett b. 1911 to parents Henry John Brett and Janet Brett nee Parker, living at old Bethnal green road. Great to get that confirmed.......Regards Susan

Did your dad have lots of siblings? There are several Brett/Parker births in Shoreditch district.

Thanks ..not sure about siblings.....Susan

Is the address on that census I gave the same as on the birth cert? or didn't it have a number?

Address on birth cert is 105 Old Bethnal Green Road, Bethnal Green...

So the 1911 census is correct although it looks like they lied about being married at the time

Right...so I suppose things like that did happen where the people gave slightly in accurate info on the census forms....
