Hi, Regarding a birth certificate, in the "name and surname of father" box the registrar started writing the mother's name "Jan", (mother's name was Jane), and put a line through it and the number 23. On the right of the last box on the right he wrote "Twenty three J.E." JE being his initials. Was this simply to confirm that he, the Registrar, had made the mistake or that there is another list somewhere giving an explanation for no father's name being listed, or some other reason entirely? Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you, Lynne.
