I have a relative who stated on the 1911 census they had been married 13 years but they didn't marry until 1916!! and his 1st wife was still alive!! but she had married her 2nd husband in 1915. Both had stated their previous partners were dead. So never believe all you see on the census forms

I've got a birth certificate for my Grandfather, Sidney Harry/Henry Meads, but not for his father, Sidney George Mead(s). I only have a death certificate for him.

Did they have any more kids after 1911? The GRO index after 1911 lists the mothers maiden surname.

The answer to your original question is the local register office (or whichever office has taken over from them) holds the original register entry. There is a contemporary copy with the GRO in Southport.
