Without more info it's difficult to say.

When was the birth/s? , do you have names of siblings that might show up on the GRO index, prior to 1915, that might confirm maiden name of mother ? after 1911 you should find mother's maiden name on freebmd.org.uk.


When you say "current year", do you mean this year ? as that won't be online anyway.

Both are correct
the 1998 one is also reg as Smith with mmn smith so was probably born before the marriage

the subsequent marriage legitimizes the birth so its altered to that effect

the same applies to Carly birth record

If both births have a shared registration date and you know they are siblings, it suggests that they have earlier birth dates and the registration has been amended / updated for some reason.

The births in 1996, show also in mothers maiden name, so my assumption would be that the parents married after the births and the info was amended 2000.

The birth of any child after 2006 will not be online.

If you want the birth details why not ask the parents, if you can't do that you really shouldn't add their children to your tree.
