My dad's death cert had his date of bith recorded incorrectly. The registration was done by the coroner, and he made a mistake. The GRO entry was corrected and a new cert issued, The original date still appears on the certificate (it can't be changed) but there us a note at the bottom saying it was corrected to dd/mm/yyyy by the superintendent registrar on the authority of the coroner. |

The question I was dealing with was what happens in the following situation. I rego my dad's death, get home and notice they've spelled his name Johnstone with an e stuck on the end, so I turn right round and get them to cross out the e, so it now reads Johnston, as it should. |

Any amendments, re-registerations etc would be forwarded to the GRO, so the copy the local register office had & the GRO copy would be the same. |

I'm sure the original would be annotated - but the GRO doesn't have the original - so it's really a question of whether that info was even conveyed to them, since they only get stuff at the end of the quarter. |

RE mgnv's post. I think the cert in that case would be annotated to show such a change of name, if it was/is even possible. |

Just because you send off to the GRO for a birth rego'ed say June 17, and back comes a certificate saying the birth occurred Feb 25, it doesn't necessarily mean there was a late registration. The birth could have been registered as Tom Davis on April 1, and when they got round to reading it, realized they wanted it rego'ed as Thomas Davies, so they rerego'ed it with their proper names on June 17. Nothing's happened late. Also, there'll only be one entry (for q2) in the GRO index, I think. |

My Great Grandparents both have anomalies on their birth certificates that are puzzling me. |
