Did hospitals in the UK keep track of the time of births in 1981? Or wherelse may i go to find this out?

Question

Both my partents dont remember the time i was born, well not to the extent i need it for my astrology studies. I am wondering if anyone knows if it was registered anywhere when i was born?

Answer 1

the registrar of birth, marriages and deaths in london will have a copy of your cert in this real cool library. i had to go there myself (spent ages looking at people born on the same day!).  if its not on the cert you wont find out.

my ma has no idea when i was born too.  i find it a bit wierd, but that wasnt such a big deal then i guess.

if you want to study the stars, try astronomy dude.

Answer 2

UK answer.

No they didn't. The only time they would record   the delivery time is in the event of a multiple birth, twins, triplets and so on. As someone as already mentioned it may be on your mums medical notes, and it's most certainly on the  "co-op card" that all pregnant ladies receive at their first ante-natal appointment. This follows the pregnancy through out and is completed by the midwife or doctor who managed the delivery.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Read your birth certificate, the time should be printed under the date of birth.  Either contact the registrars office at your birthplace or apply for a duplicate certificate using this site.

Answer 4

It might be on a chart some where but I very much doubt you'll be able to find it.

You need to work on your folks some more, or maybe ask your grand parents if they remember when they got the phone call telling them you'd arrived.

Was it before lunch? After tea that sort of thing.

Good luck.

Answer 5

The only way to find out for sure would be to access your mother's medical records, only she would be able to do that,

If you live in the UK this is how you can access your medical records.

Your doctor's surgery holds your medical records while a hospital holds records of any treatment you have had there. You have the right to view these under the Data Protection Act 1998. You can simply ask your GP, surgery staff or health authority, if you can inspect your medical records. Check with them, but there is usually a charge and you may be asked for proof of identity.

However, it is recommended that you apply for access in writing by sending a letter by recorded delivery, including any payment and the required proof of identity. You should receive a response no later than 21 days after your application was received, although by law (according to the Data Protection Act) the hospital or surgery has 40 days to respond to a request in writing.

If the records are held at a hospital, you should address the letter to your hospital Patients Services Manager or Medical Records Officer.

Your records, when presented to you, should be in a format that you understand.

If you are denied access you can approach the Information Commissioner's Office if you think the organisation has breached the Data Protection Act.

Individuals are entitled to apply for access to their total health record as it stands at the time the request was received. The information provided may, however take account of any amendment or deletion which is made to the record in the period between the request having been received and dealt with, being an amendment or deletion that would have been made regardless of the receipt of the request
