The Common Room / Certificate and index names mismatch
« on: Saturday 02 June 07 07:52 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Before I send for a particular birth certificate from the GRO, I'd like to know if there is a problem if the persons name in the GRO index does not match that on the certificate. ie what if the index has an error in it and the correct name is on the certificate. This is a rare name with one letter different in the index to the family name which may or may not be spelled correctly on the certificate.
Anyone know?
Simon
