Not sure if this is the right place for this one as it's more of a query than anything else.
Is it possible for two people born 5 years apart, in the same family to have the same GRO Reference for the Birth Certificates. I have a Frances Gregory born May Qtr 1881 and William Gregory again born May Qtr 1886 both in Chorley, and both with the GRO Ref of 8e 538!
Is this possible, as I've never come across it previously.
Many Thanks in anticipation.
Nigel

Hi Nigel & welcome to RootsChat
Certainly possible as the full GRO Ref would have to include year & quarter.
Have a look here for lots of interesting stuff about registration & certificates

PS Post would probably have been better in The Common Room, but we found it anyway

Many thanks to you both, if it's possible, I'll go ahead and order the certificates for both of them.
Once again thank you.
