My mother's birth certificate is straightforward - the short version, no father shown But on Mum's baptismal certificate, my grandmother gave her own name correctly but claimed it as her married name, invented a husband called John, and gave her maiden name as the surname of the man who was suspected of being the father. Though Gran never admitted it to anyone I feel that gives credence to the rumour Margaret -----Original Message----- From: Wendy Sent: Sunday, September 16, 2012 10:21 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [AUS-NSW] Error's on certificates Hello All, Just jumping in here on this topic...any information on certificates are as good as what the informant say's...or the person taking the information..I have many certificates with wrong infomation on them..even as late as 2010.
