Instead of a volume and page number against a birth I have found a message 'see M41'. What does this mean as I have found the birth of the same person but with two different surnames

See M41 means See march Qtr 1941

Two surnames on birth reg means unmarried parents......and the later reg could mean they eventually married and re-registered the child to give it legitimacy

Thank you for that. I didn't know that was there I had to look. The explanation you have given could very well be correct. I shall look into it. Many thanks for your help
