Looking for birth record
Looking for the birth record of Adino Bulfinch (could be spelled Bullfinch). He was born in 1660 and married Abigail Richard the 7 September 1682 Collegiate Church of St Katherine by the Tower, City of London, London, England. His number in FamilySearch is KFRW-V1Z. Thank you in advance for any help that can be offered. PaulaAnn

Had a look on Ancestry, FindMyPast and The Genealogist without success - I imagine you have looked at these already. Those who have him on their trees on Ancestry do not have any better birth information.
One might have hoped that, with such an unusual first name, he would not be difficult to find. However, one can well imagine the spelling suffering from a huge range of variants including some bearing little resemblance to Adino.
Also, as London was the capital (still is!), he could have come from anywhere seeking his fortune - perhaps even from abroad.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.

The turbulent Interregnum / Commonwealth period did not end until 1660, when the monarchy was restored and Charles II came to the throne. There are often huge gaps or very sparse detail in the English parish registers of the 1650s, and which usually extend into 1660 itself. This could relate to the reason Adino Bulfinch's baptism / birth cannot be found.
Any researcher having English ancestry hopes their ancestors / relatives vitals do not include events that took place from the 1640s through to about 1661, as it is quite likely they will not have been recorded. I have been fortunate in finding many events for my ancestors for the period (marriages excluded, as these were civil events in the Commonwealth period), but only for baptisms & burials in certain geographical pockets of the country.
