Gibraltar Birth

[Bertie]

Does anyone know what the following record set contains, for 2 births in Girbraltar?

"

British Armed Forces And Overseas Births And Baptisms

I have the children concerned with grandparents in the UK census, but I cannot find which son they belong to (and I think I've ID'd them all via the GRO Index). So if these records show any details other than the child concerned they would be very helpful.

Thanks

Most likely a british soldier had children in gibraltar, and registered them as overseas births. You can order them from the GRO.

Actually, just foud them on this (slightly clunky) website:

The records are searchable on FMP for children born to those working in the Armed Forces, Consular Services, Merchant Navy as well as civilian ship passengers.

The amount of detail will depend on the original record.

I can check it you wish

EDIT Took too long to type
