I have found a birth certificate on Genes Reunited but i know that the month of birth on it is wrong, I have seen the original. And I am not looking at the quarter, i am looking at the actual month of birth it gives you when you view it. How has this happened, has anyone else had this same problem? |

When you say you have found a birth certificate, do you mean that you have sent for it / obtained it from the GRO / register office? |

The references for birth certificates give the "quarter" in which the birth took place. So if a birth was in either January, February or March it will be given as the March quarter (unless the birth was near to the end of the "quarter" in which case it may be in the next quarter which would be June. |

Maybe on here you've seen an index which gives the quarter of the year? |

You cannot see a birth cert online................all you can see is the registration index. |
