Bear in mind ShawThing on the Pdf Summary there is no definite start date for a), b) and c), only 1927.

I was not under the Registrar's Dept and I'm not trying to trip anyone up with my next question ... but would there not be something on the 1927 Birth Certificate to state the 1927 Birth Certificate was a reregistration?

No - if the registrar followed the process correctly (and not all did) then the re-registration wouldn't usually have anything other than the "authority of the Registrar General" note in the informant column, but there should be a marginal note added to the original 1904 entry referring to the later re-reg.

Perhaps enquiry to the GRO at Southport as to whether there is another related Certificate or not?
