I was recently shown a birth certificate that has had information deleted - but not quite ! The name of the father has been struck-through - although it is still quite visible - and the number (9) written next to it. Other information has also been struck-through and the numbers (10) (11) and (12) written next to the deletions. I can understand why information may have been deleted (although it almost seems as though someone meant it to remain as it's readable with a little effort) but I don't know the meaning of the numbers. Can someone please add to my knowledge in this matter ? Regards, John. Plester One-Name Study: www.plester.info
