I haven't used birth certificates much but have found the steps below to
work for me:
Use the North Wales Free BMD website
http://www.northwalesbmd.org.uk/
Click on the entry that you think might be likely getting the details sent
through to the request form which you can then print out to fill in the
remainder before you post it off with the cheque.
There is a box in which you can put any additional details which you want
matched so that if the entry doesn't match what you want, the Regsitrar will
send you back your cheque (can't remember if you need to include a SAE or
not).
I've found Registrars really helpful and don't want to waste your money -
whether they would accept several forms in one envelope with one cheque,
saying only send the certificate that has the correct father please, or not
I'm not sure but it might be worth trying with a polite letter asking for
help.

Subject: [DENBIGHSHIRE] Birth records
Hi All,
I am looking for the birth certificate of Ellen Evans. She married in
1900
(aged 28) and died in 1955 (aged 83). From this information I'm guessing
she was born 1871/1872. Her marriage certificate doesn't say where she
was
from but census information suggests she came from Ruthin. Also on the
marriage certificate is her father's name.
To be honest I have already purchased 3 birth certificates (costly
mistakes)
and am reluctant to keep spending money until I find the right one. Is
there any way I can check that a birth certificate has the father's name
of
David Ellis Evans before I purchase another certificate?
I searched the FreeBMD website and have come across the following
possibilities:
Jun 1870 Holywell 11b 275
Jun 1870 St Asaph 11b 421
Mar 1871 St Asaph 11b 402
Dec 1871 Holywell 11b 237
Help!
Regards
Nicola
