I have a birth certificate for Lawrence Arthur Jacobs. His parents are registered as Lawrence Jacobs and Sarah Barleycorn.
On every other certificate I have seen the mother shares the surname of the father and her maiden surname is registered as formerly.
In the index Lawrence Arthur also has a register as Lawrence A Barleycorn.
Does this mean that he was illegitimate or is 'formerly' not put on all records?
