Hi Sue

Please don't scan the whole cert though!

Which country, what date etc would help though.

I suspect CR is corrected register or some variation on that theme - was her birthdate the 15th of something? or 1915?

Kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

found it. Theres an error with Bert's age hard to see but it is there it said he was 22 years corrected to 21 so thats what the fifteen cr means.

I should think CR was the initials of the chap who made the correction.
