[Closed] How to get a new birth certificate when you don't seem to exist?

My girlfriend lost her birth certificate after moving house and tried to order a new one. The General Register Office cannot find details of her at all. She's emailed, phoned and has gone to the relevent office herself with as much detail and paperwork she has, but no luck.
It looks to have had a knock on affect for updating her CRB check which can't be done, and she needs it for work.
Anyone had similar trouble?

She'll need to go to the actual office where she was registered. Along with parents details, etc.
Anyone can order a copy if they have those details and pay the fee.

She's done all that. There's nothing about her.

She can commit any crime she likes and never be charged

Does she travel a lot for work?
Does it coincide with suspicious global events?

She may well be adopted then - far more common than people think

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world [s]he[/s] she didn't exist.

I've already told her about all the naughty stuff she could do now. ๐Ÿ™‚

Well. She knows she was sent off to live with an aunt in Ireland until she was 2 year old and back to live with her mother (who she's the spit of). It's very complicated and her only close living relative is her brother who's 5 year older and doesn't know much more.

Strange that she was able to have things like passports etc in the past though. Now. Nothing.

I wonder if the Irish aunt was actually the mother....

Families hide the weirdest things. We only found out in the last few years my aunt was raped in her early twenties by her boss and to cover the "shame" went off to live in a women's refuge to have the subsequent baby which my grandmother was then planning on passing off as her own. The child died in its first few weeks after birth so was never brought home (coincidence?). My father had just gone to university and was oblivious to the whole thing. And we look on the 60's as such liberated times....

Southport or Edinburgh?
Correct name and date of birth are required including spelling.

Which Ireland?
Does she know name of aunt?
Was aunt born in UK ie Eng or Scot?
Do brother & sister share same parents?
