Wondering if the first name has been entered correctly on the birth registers because there are no instances of the name phailja on Ancestry or Google.

I wonder if this is a fictional story - not a fictional birth !

Have you tried looking to see if anything is in a local paper around that time? As it appears to be a strange story I feel sure it would have been reported in the papers.

Carolina,

I think you need to go to the library to see what you can find from the local papers around that date/year. It is amazing what is published so you may gleam something from that. If not, the Police as already suggested.

Good Luck

True, but if you were using the identity of a deceased child, you wouldn't need to register a non-existent birth, would you?

There is a well known scam which features finding the identity of a child which has died, and setting up a false identity in that name, in order to facilitate a benefits fraud.
