Hi there, does anyone know what the ‘regulations’ were for births registered in 1915?
We have a birth certificate where the birth is listed with the mothers first name and surname formally (another surname).
There is also a father listed with the same surname as the mother.
However it has been suggested that the birth certificate is wrong, that she had never married and that the child was illegitimate.
So I guess my ask is could the birth certificate be so wrong and how if the informant was the mother on her own. Thanks
