Hi, I have certificate of birth for Robert Syney Anderson b july 10 1913. mother Jeanie Milne Anderson. The birth was registered in the district of St. Mary in burgh of Dundee. Entry No 546. There is an address 5 Long Wynd dundee for the birth. This cannot be the original as there is a date stamp 1 Dec 1931. Robert was bought up by his fathers family Houston, and always beleived it was it surname :rolleyes: until 1956 when he changed by deed poll from Anderson to Houston. The Houston family lived in Ellen Street Birmingham

I have not been able to find any records of mother or child and would appreciate any help you can give:)

Thank you for electorol rolls, That is really helpful. There was a name there I hope is one I have been searching for, but as is sometimes the case, people don't use their given names! I have not tried Scotlands people yet :rolleyes:. I thought that Ancestry.com would have had it on there!

Thank you. I really appreciate your help
