.... I beleive I am researching the same family. My greatest interest at this time is Jane PAUL who lived in Bethel Cottage, Greenbrae in 1904-1906. She had a daughter in 1904 named Catherine, and there was a "Register of Corrected Entries" to her birth record (of which I have a copy) errasing any type of association with the father of the child.

Has anyone ever had or seen anything like these "Register of Corrected Entries"?
and where would you go to fine out why the entry was changed so dramatically?

I would love to have contact with Member "Barbarella" regarding her post.
Could someone tell me how to privately give my email address for her.
