Liz, if I understand Peter correctly, he is looking for the father of the boy left behind in the IOM when the other children plus mother Sarah went to Australia.
Peter, if you look at that web address I gave last message you will see that the only time a parent was mentioned at that time was when a child died, or when a parent was the informant for the death. No historical data was given, as it is in Australia. I'm 99% certain that Liz would be wasting her money if you are looking for the father of an adult.
If you are able to order films through a LDS Family History Centre, you can search civil registration entries at this time for yourself, and also numerous dissenters' records. I would order all possible index films to use in conjunction with all possible register films - who knows what clues you might pick up from these!
If you are interested only in Braddan, I suggest you order Douglas as well.
I'll post the full list of what is available worldwide on LDS film, for the sake of other people asking about civil registration certificates.
