I would like to know as I am reading up on my chinese horoscope and I need to know the time within a 2 hour window, altho I know from relatives that I was born before 9am, none of them can tell me exactly what time and as both my parents and grandparents are dead I don't have anyone else to ask.
Also due to being born over 40yrs ago I don't know if the records would have been transfered onto a computer or only in paper file form.
Does anyone know if there is a central base where information of this kind would be stored?
The hospital I was born in is no longer in use, a new one was built accross town so I can't make any enquiries there.

I've just looked at my full birth certificate and the time is not on there, if the hospital is closed your medical records would of been transfered somewhere!! You should ask at your doctors that sounds like a good starting point, It sould be on your medical records as midwifes write all this type of info down. They don't destroy records i've seen mine when i've been in hospital. Social services have to keep records for 75 years once a case is closed so hospitals will have to keep them until at least when your dead what if you have an on going problem!!!

Contact the city/town you were born in and ask for a copy of your birth certificate. The hospital may not have had the records, but the town offices will.

It is a possibility that the records will be srored in a central archive, from the hospital where you were born , birth deaths marraige records do not usually have the time of birth only the registration date. you could also contact the local paper for the announcement of your birth, they keep all papers on microfiche give it a whirl you wont go backwards will you? regards LF

Unless you are a twin (or from other multiple birth!) the time you are born is not usually recorded on your birth certificate or registry etc ..so I dont think you have much chance of finding out unfortunately....most medical records from that time will have been destroyed also.

Any way why dont you try to find some doctors or nurses who were working in the old hospital and see if any body remembers your parents you dont know maybe that will work

Go to your town hall. The "register of births and deaths" department. You will probably be able to ask questions there. You will need proof of identity.

My Dads time of birth is on his birth certificate but its not on mine or my Mums or sisters so birth certificate has to be worth a try

the hospital will have kept written records of all deliveries pre computer era. Try to find where these are kept, cos they wont be destroyed.

Ask you mom or dad. If they don't know then take a look at your birth certificate.
