I have tried on a few sites to look at my Mothers birth date as i am torn to weather to order her birth cert.I have just found her and it says it was a late entry,have any of you come accross this before?what does it mean(could it mean addopted)

I suppose it could just mean that she was not registered within the time limit for registration

Thankyou Ann

Or in the case of one of my lot, the parents were not married at birth and she was registered under mothers name, married later and child re-registered under fathers name.

Hi Keith..This is what i have been thinking.I have checked to see if she was registered under her mothers name..Its very awkward .Thankyou.

when reregistration has occured, the original cert., is sealed and not for viewing.

Milly, I beg to differ, I have both certs for my female relative. Unless you mean after adoption, when I believe the original cert is not availablle.

Keith please tell me how you go about getting both certs

My friend has a late entry birth cert (as well as a first one) because his parents changed their mind about what to call him!

Wow!

Christine,

If you have the details for both birth registrations you can order the certificates from the GRO.

Hello Rose..This is so baffaling,its hard because I havent told my mother any of this.Maybe she knows but she might not.I found out her Mum married after mum was born..Do i order mums cert or do i leave it?I am inquisitive about it all,but is it my buisness

Christine,

That's a tricky one that I can't really answer for you.

Does she know you're compiling a family tree? Perhaps you could ask her about her parents and see what she tells you.

Rose

Hi Rose ,Yes she knows.about me doing my tree.thats why i dont think she can know...I have asked many questions but i would never let on i know.
I have tried typing her mothers name on so many sites under marriages to see what i can find,
Is there anyway i could find out if she had been married twice.

Your mother's birth reference will have her maiden name listed too.

Rose

Christine,

It a matter for you whether you pursue you mother's line, but if you do decide to do so you must get the certificates. Otherwise your tree will lack verification.

Thankyou Rose,I have come this far i dont think i can stop now....I will try and order my mums cert tomorrow..Just keep it to my self.
It wll be the first one i have ordered ,So strange its my mums.
Thankyou for being so helpfull
Christine

Thanks Peter,
Havent really gone into my mums line much,but i know what your saying...My tree means the world to me...I have done it for my Dad as he was so proud of his roots.Never known much about Mums

I PMed Christine to get the details.

It's worth mentioning that there's a handwritten note for her mother's birth which says see the Sept. quarter 19 years later!

I assume there should still be a birth registration for her the year she was actually born but it's not under her mother's maiden name.

Rose

Only just read this thread for the first time.

Is the record which has a handwritten note next to it in the mother's maiden name or the surname of the person her mother married at a later date? Surely this record is the original in the year she was born otherwise they wouldn't have had to add the note to it.
