The Common Room / birth date v registration date 1881
« on: Sunday 19 February 12 14:45 GMT (UK) »
I have a birth certificate for Janetta b 22/9/81 in Bradford it shows no fathers details
Her mother is shown as Emma Jeffries now the wife of John William Bogg,
The birth was registered on 28/1/1882 and interestingly Emma and John were married on 15/1/1882.
Is it usual for the birth to be registered so long after the birth?
I was also wondering if Emma and John went to the trouble of getting married why John wasn't shown as Janetta's father? presumably because he wasn't but if he wasn't why wait so long?
Am I reading more into this than I should?
Any thoughts appreciated.
