I have now received this record. It's hard to know whether this is my great grandmother. The possible matches are: variation of name; phonetic spelling of father's surname; profession of father the same as on Frank's. Date of birth and mother's maiden name don't match. Thank you for trying!

If the parents forenames are Valentine & Alice then I think its probably correct - there weren't many couples in London in the 1901 census with those two forenames, and only one that I can see that also had a 'similar' surname (the 'Jackshopski' record at post #2).
Can you type out all of the information from Anna's birth certificate please, and also Frank's for comparison.
As an aside, I have several family members whose Date of Birth on the 1939 register is nothing like their birth certificate but I know with certainty that its them.

I see why you'd be uncertain, but I still feel its probably the correct one.
The certificates from the GRO aren't true originals - births were registered locally and a second copy was then sent to the GRO as part of the quarterly returns. The copy you buy from the GRO has probably then been copied out again, so there's even more scope for errors creeping in.
I would normally suggest that you contact the local registrar to ask them to confirm whether the the GRO certificate agrees with their copy - some are helpful but others can be less so. I believe that the registers for St George in the East are now held at Tower Hamlets, but I'm not sure if there's an easy way to contact them other than by ordering another certificate: https://www.towerhamlets.gov.uk/lgnl...tificates.aspx

Steve,
First of all, you have the copy of the certificate from the GRO which has details such as registration district, sub district, certificate number (column 1), and date of registration (column 8). These details mean that it's a relatively simple task to look at the original entry at the Registrar's office.
I would therefore email
[email protected]
Give them the details as above, plus the other details (dob, address, name, etc) on the copy of the certificate that you've received. Explain that you know that details sometimes get mis-transcribed between the Registar's office and the GRO, and therefore would it be possible, please pretty please, for them to check their original copy.
You could also enclose details of Frank's certificate (including the RO and column details) too, as proof of the similarities which make you think it's the same family in spite of the different spellings.
The RO can either be very helpful, or just send a straight 'no'.Vulcan XH558 - “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”
