I have rec'd my gt grandmothers birth certificate. In column 7 where it asks signature, descriptoin, & residence of informant. |

I think it means that the birth was declared in a different registration district. |

It can also happen with illegitimate births that the father isn't around to accompany the mother to attend the b.rego. In these cases, he can send in a declaration witnessed by a notary public, or another registrar - if abroad, a consular official can also act as a witness. |
