Given the fact that you have 2 dates - one in 1944 and one in 1947, I would think that the child was born outside of marriage - and when the parents married, the child's birth would have been re-registered to legitimise the birth. This still goes on today and I've had it happen to me in my family tree. You may want to look in the parish records for the christening - this will give you the name(s) of the child, parents, address etc. |

If the birth had been registered late there would have been a note to the effect ...on the authority of the registrar general. |

Thanks for the very interesting info Rutland Belle. That explains the different dates, as she had another child born in the same year I thought it was impossible for the mother to have two children in a matter of months. She got married in 1946, so tonight I will look for birth using her maiden name, but still its quite a big gap of 3years. Fingers crossed |

I know someone who is registered in this way. There is nothing in the index on the second registration to indicate anything unusual, but on the original registration (in her mother's previous married name) the page number is altered. |

good thinking Kath. Though I think I recall from when I was transcribing for FreeBMD that if a birth was re-registered there would be a ref to the original registration |

I don't think so. I was born during the war years and registered by my mother. My dad was in France and he didn't get home till I was nearly 1yr. (they were married) |

It could have been because of the war however you could also check to see if the birth was registered just after the birth in the mother's maiden name (just in case they weren't married at the time of the birth and then re-registered after the mariage. |

I have just received a birth certificate dated 1947, on the certificate it has when born 27 Dec 1944, in the registered column it has 11 Dec 1947. Was it normal pratice for the delay of registering a birth because of the war, or was it something else. |
