Really civil registration was just that, a civil recording of when/where/date the person was born for the Government to keep a check on the people/numbers and a short copy of birth registration is given just as a 'keep sake' for the parents, because later on even if you are asked for your birth cert, they require the long version and many parents didn't get one as you have to purchase it.
It is just another civil record of each of us with information that has built up and expanded over the decades so 'they' know more about us than we know about ourselves......... however with all those increasing civil recordings it is very useful for family history research
