I am helping someone with their tree and have obtained her father's birth certificate which shows his mother registered the birth 'by declaration' - she was living in Paddington by then but the birth took place in Rugby, she was just about to run out of time. The certificate is indexed in the Rugby District.
The declaration was noted as made the day before the registration took place and later that day she gave the boy up for informal adoption to her sister. This was 1913.
I understand that the declaration is likely to have been because she was no longer in the district where the birth took place but would like to check and wonder if the declaration was a written document and if they were kept and if so where.
Does anyone know please?
