English Birth Certificate

Absolutely brutal weren't they - yet those buildings all look so grand? It's hard to believe such cruelty went on inside them.

Hi
I have just looked at my father's birth certificate.
Place of birth was the hospital address. Under rank or Profession of father is his father's name, occupation and the home address. The informant was his mother and that gives her name and the hospital address.  This was 1920.
So maybe this was just the way certificates were written at that time?
