Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Two Images - Birth Certificate and Signature

Sarah wasn't obviously a twin, there isn't another Crawford birth in Salford with either the same page number or the one before or after allowing for her entry to be at the bottom or top of the register page.
During the early days of civil registration, some registrars entered a time regardless of whether it was a multiple birth or not.
The usual places of birth in 1838 would be the home, the home of a family member such as the grandmother or the workhouse. Hospitals weren't as we know them now.
As to the date of registration, even today you have 42 days to register a birth.
Have you found a baptism?
