	Emma - nobody knows that! That's why we all have to order birth certificates!! I don't know who you had the email from, but you could ask that person. If whoever it is knows some date is wrong, they must know the right date! I don't know how you had June, either. The registration is April-May-June quarter of 1931. She could have been born in any of those months, or in March. The only way to get her date of birth is to get the certificate.
