I am confused, am I missing something obvious here or is it possible that the certificate has been incorrectly copied-something Id never considered happening till this occurred.

Any help or suggestions welcome

Thank you

They might have copied the dads name to where the son name should has gone by accident

Do you have any of the other childens B/C to see if the parents details match
