	Audrey I found this in Scoltand awell when I was searching but nobody in Edinburgh could explain why. My mums three siblings were all registered twice in the district of St Giles and George Sq I double checked all the details even down to the signature of the mother when registering and everything was identical so I enquired when I was in Reg House but they couldn't answer.
