That's very interesting. I has always assumed that the surname on the registration index would be that of the child, not that of one of the parents.
In this case I had assumed that the child was given the name of the bio dad as a first and second names as a way of recording the connection.
Yes I will have to order the certificates, I'll add them to my list.You need to get certificates from both entries to see what happened - one possibility is that she originally registered in the wrong district, and then had to re-register the birth in the correct one ( an error of that kind can't be dealt with by a simple correction).
Thanks

The child is normally registered under the surname of the legal father or that of the mother is she was not married. I'm not sure about England, but in Scotland it can only be registered with an unmarried father's surname is he was present at the registration.
