Thank you for your reply, yes the 1000 or so are all in one registration district, I have tried to order a cert from the GRO with just the details I have but was told that with it being an extremely common surname they do not undertake that type of search and will only supply certs if the GRO index number is quoted!

From online sources there are just under 3000 possible births between the time of marriage and the 1911 census, I can eliminate approx. 2000 of these by checking the dates against those I already have, having first checked for twins etc. (ie the same or consecutive index numbers).
Other than ordering the 1000 or so birth certs are there any other techniques / tricks I can try first?
