Obtaining Birth Certificate - Maria Bevan

[rasmusseneric]

Thanks to MarkJ, I have some details on my wife's g-grandmother - Maria Bevan.

Maria was born in Brislington, Bristol in 1853.

How do I go about obtaining a birth certificate?

Go to the General Record Office website www.gro.gov.uk where you can order copy certificates online (they cost £7 each if you have the GRO reference number from the indexes).

I have found a reference to Maria Bevan which gives the Registrar's district as Ipswich and the Volume and page number as 4a 333. (Q1 1853)

Given that she was born in Brislington in 1853, is the reference above likely to be her?

No. Ipswich is in the East of the UK, Bristol is in the South West - so unlikely to be the same person.
5c 696 - December quarter 1852 Keynsham district is probably the one you are after.
Keynsham is part of Bristol area - and would appear to fit in better with the information you hold. It is about 3 miles from Brislington, so it would be likely that Maria would be registered there.

Cheers,

Thanks Mark

Is your reference all I need to obtain a copy of her birth certificate?
