What is the date of registration?
Is that 1895 too?

Yes (Well a scan of the certificate supplied by GRO)

Do you have the actual birth cert?

We do have the right birth certificate. Do you think they just forgot the year of birth? She turned out to be deaf and dumb

When a certificate is purchased from PRO, is the text within the box an exact copy of the original registrar?

The birth cert is more likely to be correct, assuming you have the birth cert for the right person.

Hi Everyone,

Could there ever be an error with the date of birth year on a birth certificate?

I have the 1901, 1911 and 1939, marriage and death record all showing a birth in 1894, but clearly the year of birth on the birth certificate show 1895?

Your thoughts?
