Hi Does anyone know if there is a rule when a child is registered to un-married parents whether they are entered twice, under each surname, or if when both surnames are hyphenated is it the male or female surname first ? – or does it just depend on which parent did the registration ? TIA John E Farrow

In the UK you can register it any way as long as both parents are present. Also if the parents subsequently marry you should reregister the birth as if the marriage has preceded the birth.
