This may be a silly question. When registering a birth/marriage/death do you have to put all the names of the 'person' or witnesses.
For example: I have been trying to find the brith of Andrew Kirkland (details taken from marriage certificate) - when I eventually found it his full name was Andrew Reid Kirkland.
Is this a common practice to drop 'middle' names. As I am having diffultly tracking down other relatives and now wonder if their 'middle' names have been excluded from certificates.
