Yes I have mine. Hubby only has the short version - we found out quite recently that this is because his mum didn't marry his dad until hubby was 9 (he'd been told a fictional anniversary year/date). The short certificate doesn't give the father's name so his parents could keep secret the fact that they'd lied when registering his birth, claiming they were already married. Angela |

no, can't find it anywhere! I did get it back in the early 80's. I worked just by St Catherine's House, and ordered it in my lunch hour. When I picked it up, they had spelt my name wrong - MariAn instead of MariOn. You can imagine I went ballistic lol!! In the end, they got the original register book sent to St Cath so I could view it with them. The dopey registrar had run the O and N together so it looked like an A. We had a long discussion and they agreed to let me have it with an O on, as that was the name I had been using since birth and the one my parents had chosen!! It gave me quite a turn at the time and now that I have mislaid it, I am scared to order it again in case the same thing happens! Funnily enough, in the index I am quite clearly shown as MariOn!!

Yes, full one. They are all really only certified copies as the original is held by the registrar. Ros. |

No, have lost both short and long versions years ago, have got replacements now. It does make me feel uneasy though that my others went missing - who has got them now? Probably put them in the bin by mistake though. Liz x |

My mother 'disposed' of almost all of the originals of important family documents during her Alzheimer's years, thus I only have a copy. This will come as a surprise to many who believe I was invented, not born. CB >|< |

Yes but it is only the 'small' one that was issued to Mum while she was in hospital. Did not have enough money on her to buy the full cert. Maureen |
