Certificates are produced by the local registrar; copies are sent to the General Register Office. |

Thank you, I and several others appreciate your replies. This of course answers the question with regard to inaccuracies in certificates. |

The original, as I understand it, is the registration of birth ( or whatever ) recorded in a ledger at the office of the Registrar where the event happened. |

The General Register Office supplies to all Register Offices in the country (and themselves) blank copies of all the various styles of 'certificates' that have been in use since 1837. |

Please add to my understanding. Exactly what is the origin of historical birth, marriage and death certificates. |
