Hi and welcome.

A birth did not have to be registered by a parent - it could be anyone who was present at the birth.

Could LAura be her sister? You need to trace both Laura and your Janie back to see.
Was Janie married - is Williams her married name (in which case Laura might be sister in law) or maiden name?

Hi sorry
The olivers lived at 3, Walsingham Place Truro were Janie Williams was in 1924
I dont know if she was a housekeeper at that address or if she was related
also i looked up Laura Harveys family and can not find any connection Laura worked in a shop but lived in HAYLE about 15 miles away from TRURO
On the birth certificate it has the name of the mother but no father could she have still been married
