This William is my Great Grandfather and I am trying to confirm the maiden name of his mother, Sarah, by obtaining his Birth Certificate.
So far I have been unable to find him on any Birth Index, but have found two Baptism records, so am wondering when the registration of a child' birth became compulsory, as opposed to the either/or of registering the birth or having the child baptised, and therefore there may not, in fact, be a Birth Certificate!!
This is what I have so far:
Birth date: 1 Feb 1860. Baptism: 6 May 1860. Parish: Liverpool St. Peter. Father: William. Mother: Sarah.
The same information is on both the records from 'Liverpool, England, Baptisms 1813 - 1906' and the 'England, Select Births and Christenings 1538 - 1906', but each has a different reference. The former having 283Pet/2/48 and the latter having FHL Film Number 93889.
How do I access these references please, and what other information would I find there?
Many thanks.
