The birth year is factually correct, there were five children by the same father (Goodliffe) but no marriage, however the mother, my aunt by the way, did in fact marry
in 1948, to another man, (Crystal) how that would have a bearing on this I dont know,
the other four siblings were born after her, post 1928, and theres no re registering
with them ? all five bear their fathers name (Goodliffe) confused .com , thats me ?.

Well spotted Kay

I didn't look that deeply :-( :-D

Robert....Were you expecting her to be born around 1928 or was 1948 more likely?

By the surface looks of it its a mistake by the General Register Office ans its been indexed under 1928 instead of the correct year of 1948.?

This happend often when the indexes were put onto fiche.

Its under both surnames so was registered under the surname which was used/taken/known as/.

She may have been born before her parents married and therefore her birth was re registered as allowed by the Legitimacy Act 1926.

The Legitimacy Act 1926 enabled a child to be classed as ‘legitimate’ as long as their parents married after their birth (provided that they had not been married to someone else at the time of conception) and provided the parents re-registered the child’s birth after marriage.
