I have a birth in 1916 which has been registered twice:
once in the mother's married surname, with her maiden name given as MMN (her husband was not the father of the child)
and a second registration under the real father's surname (her partner at the time), with the mothers maiden name again given as MMN.
They both have the same registration details and are typed entries, i.e. not added at the end of the page.
Parents never married.
What were the rules for this, if any? If parents were unmarried was it necessary to register in both parents' names?
