hi has anyone ever come across or even know if it would be possible for a parent to register a death of a male child with no name mentioned then maybe a couple of weeks later register the child and give them a name and get a birth certificate for the child.....
thanks christine

Not seen it done buts its a possibility you have to register a death more or less straight away but you have 42 days to register a birth. Its possible a death may have been reg and then the parents decided they should reg the birth too and gave the child a name.

A child's death cert will show under the occupations column, son or daughter of and the fathers name, OR the mums name if the child was illegitimate. The death cert should be the biggest clue i think if you are looking for the child

Could there have been twins and one died. Doesn't make sense though that they would make two trips to the registry office unless of course they were short of cash and so registered them separately
