Hi,
Have you got your fathers birth certificate? It will give you the name of his father and mother and away you go.
I presume it was a U.K. birth?

Hi,
There is an entry in the Births Index which may be your man. It's the only entry for Girling in Lancashire in 1912
Albert H Girling Sep Qtr 1912 West Derby vol 8b page 1214 Mother's maiden name Jones

Not at all. It is just the way the indexes have been done.
With the information provided by Emeltee you can purchase his birth certificate online from the GRO.
