What info do you require David.

The only way you can learn about these certificates is to order them.

Where have you got the birth date from if you haven't got the birth certificate?

There is no Christopher O'Connor registered in the last qtr. of 1902 or the first qtr. of 1903, unless he was born in Ireland, in which case he won't be on Ancestry BMD.

Birthdates on death certificates are notoriously often wrong. The information is only as accurate as the informant's knowledge or memory.

You probably need to look a few years either side of 1902. The actual day and month may be right but the year could easily be out by a few years.

I have death certificates where the birth year is out by as much as 5 years.
