	Does anyone know why a birth would have to GRO references for the same person. I have a Martha Rowney born Sept 1/4 1904 Wolverhampton GRO ref: Vol 6b P 662 and 611 Why would that be?

	Sorry Gail it was a typo - my mistake should have read Rownes, I wonder why there were two registratiions?

I don't think this is the same person with two different registrations - although in an index this size there are inevitably errors - but coincidental as it may seem it should be two different Martha Rownes being registered. Gail.
