I thought that once a second birth certificate was in force the first was never issued, except in cases where an adoptee wishes to learn who her birth parents were, and then only to the adoptee. I have been linking images of Parish Register and Bishops Transcript entries to the same baptism by creating two different source citations, one for each, and linking them to the same baptism fact. If you do have two birth certificates for the same person this would be the same process. The differing information would appear in the "Text from source" box for each citation.
