A Blue Birth Certificate???
« on: Monday 03 May 10 13:12 BST (UK) »
I have a blue birth certificate for my husbands Grand father. 
It states on the top of it "This certificate is not available for purposes of Secondary Education"
Also "(issued only for the purpose of the education act 1921)"

It is a certified copy of an entry of birth, 24 years after the actual birth.

Can anyone tell me what the purpose of these certificates were for?

Many thanks
