A lister on another (unrelated) mailing list sent the following message yesterday, regarding a birth certificate listed under the British India Office. "The certificate has 'When born' column with a Bolton address. In the Sex column, it has Boy then underneath there appears to be 'Girl' crossed out but under that a '4'. Could a certificate be issued for a 4 year old who had been born in India but if so I would have expected a note to indicate that. The date of birth is 25th May 1870 but the certificate is dated 25th January 1887" Could anyone explain the apparent inconsistencies of this, and why it appears amongst British India records? I haven't seen this entry myself as I don't subscribe to FMP. Valerie
