Thank you Potty but i think i may have posted my question incorrectly.

Ficticous names.
Widow Mrs Brown registered childs name as William Brown
The fathers name on the birth certificate is named as Alan Green

Hope this makes more sense.

Regards
Maurice

Yes, as long as the actual father was there at the registration.

All children are registered under the mother's surname at the time.

Is it possible that a ww2 widow having an illegitimate child could register the child in her deceased husbands surname and the actual fathers name put on the birth certificate. Dob of the child 1943.

Hope this makes sense.
Thank you for any replies
Maurice.

I recieved the birth certificate from my brother which unfortunately was only the short version.
I took you advice DET and ordered and have now recieved the full version
My brothers memory must be fading.
The fathers is name on the certificate is William Brown deceased not our actual father Alan Green

The birth was not re registered under the surname Green, my brother did however change his surname by deedpoll shortly before his marriage age 20

He has also used the surname Green all through his school life and on his driving licence age 18 also his passports ( which i have seen) and has had no trouble.

Thank you all for your help and replies.

Best wishes
Maurice.
