On doing a bit of digging for a friend, I've discovered she has 2 birth certs (one long, one short) 7 years apart?
The correct, dates, district, mothers name but different father with now a new surname?
1, is this legal after all it would mean she could apply for 2 passports.
2, how could this happen?
Any of you seekers every come across similar please?

Perhaps Colin does not know how to get back, or expects email notification of replies and so believes no-one has replied?

***************Colin's reply from the other thread............****************

Thanks one and all and sorry for the duplication, I was indeed ignorant as to how to retrieve replies.
The years in question are 1963 (long) and 1970 (short). I've since been informed that my colleagues wife was the result of her mother having a fling with a married man with his own family in the next village. Her birth name was kept from her, using her mothers maiden name, and she was simply given a new name and birth cert 7 years later when put up for adoption.
