Not quite, her birth was registere in APRIL 1904 so still not why I was told her birthday was June according to my father when we got him to talk about her occasionally.

If your only evidence is that your father told you her birthday was June, it might be that he was mistaken.  The birth cert is the source closest to the event so most likely to be correct.

Perhaps she celebrated her birthday in June (maybe because the weather was better) or believed it was June because it was after her parents' marriage.  Or she knew she was born in Feb but chose to say June to make herself legitimate.

Now I am stuck again!!!!!!    No record of my great grandfathers death he may have been in the first world war but do not know.    So now need to find out what happened to Ernest George Vivyan whcih would account for his family moving from Bray (Maidenhead) to Swindon after 1911.
