My lot's birth and marriage certs are full of spelling errors - my father even spelt his wife's name incorrectly on one of the birth certs. It does not matter all that much and certainly not the spelling of a witness' name. |

The R.O. is wrong. Minor errors of spelling do not invalidate Birth and marriage certs UNLESS they were deliberate and designed to mislead. If you had let the correction to Katharine go you would have been ok now the jobsworth has you at his mercy. You can always fork out for a special licence if they have such things in Scotland. |
