As I have pointed out on these boards many times people are using the term 'registered' when in fact they are talking about entries in the indexes - a totally different thing. |

The natural parents of a child who have married each other since the child's birth are legally required to re-register their child. The marriage legitimises the child immediately, therefore making the information in the original birth entry incorrect. The re-registration will ensure an accurate record is kept. |

The 1919 would be because the father made a signed declaration at the registry office that he claimed parentage,,,and its usaul practice that if this happens the child is entered in both surnames that of the mothers at that time &fathers because the parents wasnt married then ,and not guaranteed to either. |

Hi i am looking for a reason why a birth might have 3 registrations. i cant give too much information as although the person involved has died he still might have living relatives. |
