Hi, please can anyone tell me if, when you put in the page and volume numbers on a search and it comes up with three or four different people with the same surnames, does it mean that they are the same family? I have come across two children I knew about and one that I didn,t so wondered if this third unknown child was a sister to the others.
thanks

Hi,,

No it cant confirm they are all of the same family,,only the same surname and place area of registration,,the only way is from the information of all the certifciates,

,I think you must be talking of pre 1911,?

hi, yes they are all round about 1885, that does clear up one of the names as it came up with a different mothers name, although I did find a twin!!
Thank you so much for your reply as I thought maybe i,rd made a mistake and got a whole list of incorrect names!!
