Hi,
My sister is registered 6 (!) times in the index and one entry has a "SuptRef". She has both our mother's surname and our father's surname in different entries and also this SuptRef. Unfortunately neither parents are alive to ask.
Our parents married 3 years after she was born and her original short birth certificate shows her as having our father's surname.
Does anyone know what this SuptRef is and what would cause my sister to have been registered 6 times?
Moderator comment: Names removed - this person still living!
Thanks!

It looks like she has been registered in mother's name and father's name in 1984, and both have been cross referenced to the other. Hence four entried.
When mother and father got married she has been registered again (to account for the marriage) and it is cross referenced again in both names, hence two entries.
total six entries.
