I was looking through the certificates I have - mostly 1850's -1920's and thinking how wonderful it is that parents always seemed to register their children's births, and within the time limit (with one notable exception in my case LOL)
I was just wondering what drove them to do this? (Surely not for our benefit!)
How would the unregistered birth have been uncovered, particular when most births were at home ?
