	Registration only started late that year. When introduced the forms were standard and continued to provide the same information for many years. Recently they have been updated. 1837 certificate would therefore provide Place and date of birth Name of child Sex of child Name and surname of father Name, surname and maiden surname of mother Occupation of father Signature, description and residence of informant When registered Signature of registrar As now, the registration district, sub district and county were stated at the top of the page. In reality many of the early certs. gave little information about actual locations, ie. street names. Some early certs. show a time of birth. This doesn't necessarily mean it was a twin birth, but was just registrars being keen to log all known facts. Gwyn
