Always something new to spark further interest! Perhaps this is the moment then to come back to base with a question..... So... does the FHU system find it easy to accept two differing birth certificates for a single individual? Has anybody entered this combination without difficulties? Obviously one must be careful with entering the actual DOB and clearly some explanation and notes could be included.......

When parents married they are/were advised to have any existing children re-registered and this would make them legitimate in the eyes of the law. Without this children born within the marriage used to have greater rights than their "illegitimate siblings", in terms of being next of kin and inheritance rules. The law may well have changed now and the anomalies removed. Regards Julie
