Phone up the births and deaths registrar in the town he was born. If you no longer live in that area, they will tell you how to do it by post.

I had to fill in a form , pay the fee (£7) and collect it the following day.

It is easy.

But exactly how does possessing a birth certificate prove that you are personentitled to that certificate?

It doesnt, thats why you always need other documentation :xmassign:

You don't need to prove who you are to get a cettificate. Anyone can order any BC. I've ordered loads from the above site for my family tree. If you order online, you usually get it within a few days.
