On MY birth certificate is says where is says description of informant: Arthur William Margrie of 205 Alma Avenue essex Hornchurch Father H S as per Declaration dated 28th July 1947 What does: H S as per Declaration dated 28th July 1947 mean please, I have always wondered about that!! Thanks very much for any answers that you might be able to give to me. Diane

I forgot about this one, I have a cousin born in 1936 out of wedlock and the GRO index shows his surname as his Mothers. I sent for the birth certificate and when it came it was dated 5 years later with a different Surname. In the informants box it said as per declaration dated feb 1941. His parents got married 5 years after he was born and the mother put his fathers name on the certificate.
