I have a situation where the father is shown as deceased on the daughters
birth cert but his name and occupation are given on the daughters marriage
cert 20 years later. I wondered why they would put his occupation if he had
been dead for 20 years!!!

> I was wondering if anyone could please shed light on the stating of the
precise time of birth on a birth certificate. I have never had it happen
before, but now that it has I seem to remember years ago someone mentioning
that on the birth certificates of twins, the exact time of birth is stated.
The certificate in question reads:Ellen Annette Mary Corvan, born 19th
April, 1846. 5 P.M., at 16-----------(unreadable address, unfortunately, but
the district was The Regents Park, Saint Pancras). The Free BDM site shows
no mention of another birth - or death- of a Corvan child at the same time,
so if she was a twin perhaps the other baby was stillborn and therefore not
registered?
> Also, with marriage certificates, if the father of either party is
deceased at the time of the marriage, does it state so on the certificate? I
have several certificates that state the name of the father, followed by
'deceased', and several more that just have the father's name, and was
wondering if I could presume that the latter cases were still alive at the
time of the marriage. Thank you yet again for the invaluable advice that
comes from this group. Jen
