   Births or deaths, the same applies, except, obviously, in the case of   
   marine births. You haven't tried actually asking the GRO if they can   
   give you want you want? I appreciate that communicating with them is a   
   bit of an opaque process.   
   If there's a register office close to where you live you could try   
   visiting. I don't supposed they'd have the information you want but at   
   least you'd get the chance to talk to a real person who might be able   
   to advise you.
