The local office - Knowsley apparently - holds the actual rego that your gran or whoever signed - the GRO only has a copy made by someone in the Knowsley registers office (or whatever office it was that held the rego at the time - Knowsley's a new office). The GRO will send an image of the copy they were sent, but there could be a mistranscription in making the copy. The local office will make a fresh copy for you - most local offices don't have digitalization capabilities available. |

thank you all so much fro you advice. I have found through one of the links that my mum has 2 birth records - one is typed, and has the wrong surname. She is listed as "dane" instead of "dahl", the other one is handwritten on the bottom of register, and she is listed as "dahl" (correct name) but her mother's maiden name is incorrect (reads Saley instead of Mealey) - I think there may have been a catalogue of erroes - I have an e mail address to try and rectify mistakes made, and hopefully order her a correct birth certificate. |

If an unwed mother has a child, the b.cert will only show the mother's name unless the father gives written permission for his name to be included. This was usually accomplished by the father accompanying the mother for the initial registration. In this case, there'll be one registration with two different surnames on the b.cert. Th child can be known by either name (indeed by any surname the mother chooses). Since this is the case, there will be two entries in the GRO index (which is what FreeBMD are transcribing). Both these index entries will point to the same b.cert. (If you check any b.cert pre 1969, you'll see no surname is explicitly given to the child - it's left to be inferred from the parent's surname(s). |

A handwritten entry is normally just an indication that the record was missed when the list was typed up. |

Hello Jane, it's difficult to give an opinion without knowing what you're seeing (but obviously you don't want to post mum's details here). |

Hi all. joined the site yesterday so a complete novice.The reason I joined, is that I could not find details of my mum's birth registration at Somerset House in London (this was a few years ago) - she was born in August 1947, and I thought it may be a nice idea to get a copy of her birth certificate for her birthday this year. Looking into original birth registration records, the entry for her birth is handwritten at the bottom of the page' Do you think that this could be significant? Have a horrible feeling that no record at Somerset House and handwritten birth registration does not quite add up? I intend to phone the 0300 123 1837 to order copy of her birth certificate and hope this will shed more light on the subject.I might be reading too much into it, but would appreciate some advice. |
