I don't see his birth on the indexes.

I presume the info on John's birth is from his marriage certificate?
Can you tell us all the info there including occupation for Richard and who the witnesses were?

I think even without parents' names her marriage may still be useful for the witness names.

Also, her birthplace should be listed on the later birth certificates for her children.

Death registration is I think number 1929/1152
It appears it possibly was misindexed on the site as it only shows up when searching for 1928 :(

It is quite likely that neither had signficant enough of an estate behind to require probate.  The majority of people did not.

First thought: These are just transcriptions, perhaps when looking at the originals the maiden name is there but got missed when transcribing?

It's also possible that the priest simply made an omission on this particular record for whatever reason.  Maybe a simple mistake.

Does the probate record not state a place as well as date of death?

Possible the death was not in England and Wales, only the probate?

Can you give us the exact wording of the probate entry?

Administration means there was no will.

In this case, (if you're talking about https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/ ) there's little point in ordering the record, the grant of administration will not have anything more useful than what's on the index.

It should show on the GRO index when digital copy is available.

Looking close, I see that the 1910 entry, "occasional entry B" isn't available digitally for some reason. Perhaps because this was the original entry and the 1911 is the correction to it?  I honestly don't know why copy "B" instead of "A" (two corrections?)

To my understanding, the registration numbers are just the number for a certificate, they don't link individually to a person.  According to the site:

What is the difference between the folio numbers on the fiche and the registration numbers on the website?

The registration number is a unique number allocated to each record when our registers were scanned. Folio numbers were given to each page of a register. This can result in multiple records having the same folio for each year depending on how many records there were on each page.

If they accept credit cards it should be OK. It looks like they have seperate charges for international delivery on their "rush" service which suggests to me they are set up for international payments.

If you are at all worried, send them an email first to clarify. Their email address is embedded in the form.
