My grandmother's marriage cert gives her name as Q##### E#### C### otherwise B#######. Her birth surname was C### but she was then adopted and her surname became B#######.

Mary,

The birth is not registered twice,its just a re-issue of a birth certificate with the correct or not information entered,and as the father couldnt be present or made a signed ***Declaration****at the second birth certificate issue,a fatehrs name count be entered,,,,,,and as she was never legally married to Mr B then she couldnt enter his name anyway,

Same circumstances would also apply to Mr J,

Why there was a re--issue may have come about by many reasons,,,,

Kay,

I know she shouldn't haven't entered Mr B's name at the first registration, but she did. (She was calling herself Mrs B, even though she was still married to Mr J)

The second registration was because she AND Mr B made a statutory declaration to omit his name.

To make it even more complicated - AFTER that, she -re-registered them under the surname of Mr J.

So I'm guessing that my husbands legal name is J not B!

Who knows lol the local Office is hunting for us.

As she was Mrs J. any children should have been registered with that surname, unless Mr B.went to the registration to give them his surname.

Any surname becomes 'your's' by usage
.... If your family is not legally correct, then nor are many of the trees on GR I suspect. as many of us have come across a situation where a married couple would seem to be a child's parents, but no earlier marriage was found.

Gwyn,

Yes, I agree, they should have been registered with her legal surname, Mrs J. I doubt very much Mr B went with her.

We are just wondering why over 11 years later, she removed Mr B and re-registered them as J.

I think this will forever be a mystery lol

This family has more skeletons than a cemetery!
