Thank you for your request.
While we do hold information on parents' names, birth registration records do not contain information on parents' ethnicity, nor can we assume parents' ethnicity from their name.
We have published data from 2007-2023 on parents' country of birth, which can be found in our Births by Parents' Country of Birth data series.
If you wish to obtain an output showing births by parents' country of birth and parent age, this would need to be created as a custom output. Please send a detailed description of your request to Health.Data@ons.gov.uk.
Please note these services are subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreements of costs in line with our charging policy.
