  • Name Help please

    I have found births on Ancestry, between 1884 - 2005.
    Would someone know why a birth is registered twice please, exactly the same dates, first names but different surnames?
    If the parents are not married would the child have to be registered separately under each parents surname?

    If the parents are not married there won't be two registrations, but there will be two index references to take you to the same registration (ie there's only one birth cert version)!

    Does that make sense??!

      One birth cert, but you can find the child under either parents surname, is that right?

        Just checked one in 1993 by mmn and year - the entries for both surnames come up one after the other.
