Legally a child has to be registered within 6 weeks, but there are many instances of late registration. Yesterday there was a thread about a child whose birth wasn't registered until she was in her 6th year - I assumed she needed to go to school. nell |

Hi Pippa No I have the cert - that's why I'm wondering if the GRO made a mistake when copying it out. There were no siblings that I know of Carole |

Have you viewed the certificate or are you going by the GRO index and the date that you have been given? Could it be a sibling who died? |

I've just noticed that the date of birth of my g grandfather was Jan 23rd 1877 and the registration was over 1 year later - Jan 28th 1878. Would more than a 1 year gap have been possible then or could it be a GRO mistake? Carole |
