My gg grandmothers death was registered twice. Once with the surname of my gg grandfather and again with the surname of her first husband. Presume she had been "living over the brush" with my gg grandfather and the family did not find out until after her death. It was registered by the son from her "first" marriage. Reference numbers the same. |

if the child is illegitimate but the father acknowledges he is the father and his name is on the cert .then the reg will appear with both surnames but the same reg number. means whichever surname you order the cert in you will get the one cert |

When you say the same reference number, are you talking about the number on the actual certificate or is it a page No? Is it a birth, marriage or death cert? |

it appears that on birth cert i have mother and fathers name appears. but when checking for birth details i found that i was also name in my mothers married name. i know on the cert i have that my mother and father were not married. but that my mother was still married to someone else at the time/ so was wondering if this was poss that she had reg me in her married name then re reg with my own fathers name after. at later date but could not understand why gro ref was same |

As a married woman any children would be normally registered with that surname, regardless of actual parentage. |
