Meredith Not helping you query, but here in Australia, out of 11 of my Grandfather and his siblings only 1 was registered at birth, 6 of them born in a fairly major town of Williamstown in Victoria. The other 5 born in the country. My parents then continued the tradition with me. My birth was not registered until I was 22 years of age, and I was born in 1952. So no accounting for what people will or wont do. Regards Joy
