My late mother's Birth cert was corrected . She was born in August 1923, and the birth register in the October.
In the right hand margin is written
" Clerical Error in Column 2 corrected on the 5th June 1924 by me, xxxx xxxxx, Interim Registrar in the presence of xxxx xxxx, Deputy Superintendent Registrar " (xs just in case they are still alive)
The error was that in column 2 had been written 3 names - My mother's forename, middle name and surname - and the correction is that the surname has been crossed out.
This has always intrigued me, and I wondered whether any legal formalities had to be gone through to have a certificate corrected, and which parties would be able to have such a request dealt with.
