Chrissie beat me to it. Not sure if it's /5 or /S though. Janice

I am just wondering why they would have changed it? Lisa

I wondered that too Lisa. Why did you put Bennet as a possible surname. I will go and check under Bennett too in case it was a duplicate.

I put the surname as bennett as well as when my mother got divorced she carried on using her married name so I didnt know if he had been put in his dads or my mothers name. Thanks Chrissie. Lisa

Nothing under Bennett. He wasn't adopted was he? I think that I have heard that numbers can change when people are adopted. I'm no expert though I'm afraid. Chrissie

Hi Chrissie, I was adopted and I have just checked my record and the number wasn't changed. The only thing on my birth certificate is it states in column 10 that I was adopted. Steph
