Hi Sparkstopper. I will order the certificate and begin the process of elimination!
Thanks, Darren

If you're ordering from the GRO, sometimes it's a good idea not to use the GRO ref, then you can state last known address occupation etc. If the info you give doesn't match they refund your money.
Although if he's moved it may not help!

Ah, that's useful to know.
Many thanks,
