Yes because there is a name change. Official adoption didn't start till 1927 so before then only one birth registration number |

My dad (born 1926) was adopted in 1942 - being 16, he knew about it, and he has at least 2 entries :-S |

I have a relative who was widowed very young and a couple of years later had a child just before she remarried, this was in the 1840s. |

I don't think that they do Lavender. The only time that they would appear is if a child was registered in one name (say the mother was still married at the time of the birth but not to the father of the child). The first record would give the husband's surname for the child (unless the real father went to register with her). If the mother then went on to divorce the first husband and marry the real father then there may be a re-registration giving the real father's surname on the second registration. This second registration would not be at the same time in the index. There would also be a crossing out of numbers on the first record. |

Could the mother have been known by both surnames at one time? Could she have lived with someone and used his surname but not be married to him? |

I was adopted in 1944. My birth was registered in the births records under my (unmarried ) mother's name. |
