Hello Linda

If Sidney John Matthews was born 23/12/1928 - just before Christmas/New Year - then the chances are his birth wouldn't be registered until the beginning of the next year so would be indexed in the next quarter.

There's a likely entry:

1929 - March quarter - Matthews, Sidney J - mother's maiden name Smith - W Ham 4a 292

Is this him?

Mary

No not March, - the 3 month period ending March, which could mean as early as 1st January.

Hi Linda, my sister found your search query on a google search, please let me know if the surname is spelt correctly, Sidney John Mathews was born in Elephant and Castle, South London on the 10 May 1920. Here is a link http://www.97squadronassociation.co.uk/groundcrews.html, http://www.firebynight.co.uk/Intro%20K-King.html and www.mathews.co.za. Let me know if you need more details.
