In the UK it is on the birth record database that is publicly available to anybody.
If you know the person's name and roughly when they were born (which you can get from the age) and where, you can get the Mothers Maiden name easily.
I found mine here https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl in a couple of clicks.
- godot 8y agoVery tangential note: a url like /cgi/search.pl certainly brings back nostalgic memories! Good old days of cgi-bin and perl scripts.
- Zenst 8y agoThis is a handy site - https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl But looking up myself (and my brother) I noticed that the record date is a month or two past the actual month. So for me being born in March seeing myself listed as June and in my Brothers case seeing September listed as December. Well, makes me wonder if they had backlogs back then. But most happy it is that way, I know my actual birth certificate has the correct date (still have the original) and those are accessible in some form or another. Just mindful that not all records are that accurate.
