Thanks Nich-Nick...I have the birth cert with my parents names on it. I also have police details from a caution, detailing everything, no name change or military background, so it looks like I'm good? I had a panic earlier in the week as I didn't have the full birth cert, but I do now. What about the ds230 as it asks youto sign it in front of the clerk?

nick-nick said you don't need the ds-230 for the k-1, and you need the long birthcertificate it has more information on it.

The thing you sign in front of the officer that is sorta comparable is the DS-156K. Part 2 of the DS-230 is used by spouses doing IR1/CR1 visas. The term "long form" birth certificate refers to the one with more information, ie parents' names. The "short form" sometimes used for school things in the UK, does not have parent names and is not accepted by the embassy.
