Marilyn, It could possibly be that Charles would be starting work at the age of 14 and would need a birth certificate to prove his age. It could be that his parents had not told him that he was illegitimate, so needed to make his birth look normal. Josie. *********In the June Q of 1925 Charles' birth was re-registered as Charles ABBISHAW, mother's maiden name SAVAGE, and a hand-written cross-reference under ABBISHAW appears in the March Q 1911 GRO births index. Was this re-registering of the birth in 1925 actually illegal? Can anyone think of a reason why the ABBISHAWs would suddenly decide to re-register Charles' birth fourteen years after his birth and ten years after their marriage?********** Marilyn Maybury OUTGOING MAIL PROTECTED BY AVG SECURITY SYSTEMS No virus found in this outgoing message.
