    3. Dear list - Please excuse my ignorance, being still on my"L" plates re certificates, but I'm puzzled by a notation under"informant" on birth certificates which states "father- after declaration according to law".Did it just mean he was too busy or was unable to register the birth for some reason - or could it have a more sinister reason - Would love to uncover a scandal, so far all branches of the family tree have been boringly ordinary. Also Ron - regarding marriages in the time of Henry V111, I was under the impression that it was mostly the "upper" classes who went through the ceremony of marriage, and the peasants just simply got on with life without necessarily being registered- In other words,when did the institution of marriage become a req uirement by law? Just curious -

    3. Hello Pat, It would help to give you an answer on your first query if you could give a name of the child and a date of the birth certificate, and whether it is Australian & which state. The law changed quite a lot over time, and sometimes there is information in court records, particularly in Equity cases of the Victorian Supreme Court. I could check my indexes on these.
