  • name changes on birth certificates

    I have found a certificate where the mother states her name is that of the putative father when in fact they were not married. This would make her child appear to be legitimate

    That was pretty common. I don't think anyone checked the truth of the statements made when the birth was registered.

      No point in checking anyway, since it is quite legal for someone to use any name they want to. Also even if the registrar knew the couple were not married, there is no place on the certificate to record that fact.
