You've got a couple of options - as I posted on 11 June you can try to order the bc through GRO. Alternatively he should apply through here (it's free) for his original bc & adoption file if you now feel he may be adopted:

It's a simple process, and no big deal that he will need to see a councillor before the details can be released.

Have received Pm from Jennie.
It seems her husband does not know if he was adopted or not - the suspicion has arisen because of a lack of a birth record, and something he overheard which might or might not apply to him.
I have suggested that he contact the GRO initially, just in case it's a case of simple omission, and then if that fails do as Flip suggests.
