I don't think you can obtain certificates pre 1830 because they didn't exist. I think you can only check parish records. What do you mean pre GRO? If you have volume numbers and page then they must appear in the GRO. However I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. (Did certification happen from 1837 onwards?)

1837 for England and Wales, 1855 for Scotland.
There are military registrations - haven't searched them much, I think the info regarding them is all in TNA.

The army returns give a reference - eg volume number RA22 page 69 line 111 and if you look on GRO it says
information Outside the United Kingdom and registered by the British Forces, Consul or High Commission
(including Forces or Regimental records in the UK, Ireland or other British Isles between 1761-1924, see Overseas records GRO hold)
so i thought perhaps i could at least find out the parents names

From the GRO's own website.

Do read section 3 Q&A carefully regarding the information found on Army birth 'registrations'.
