Sorry if my question seems a bit dumb: I have the birth record for a Josephine Nash on free BMD: Manchester S. Mar 1925, vol 8d p. 260. However this does not appear on the GRO web page. Is this because the person was adopted (as I expected)?
However I have another Nash,who I know was adopted in 1926, their records appear on both free BMD and the GRO web page. But there is an additional comment on the GRO site: Occasional copy: A. Why can I see this adopted person and what does the comment signify?

The GRO image is visible

On the GRO site, it is Nach.

Thanks all for your help. I am a bit surprised that the GRO got the transcription wrong. Well done free BMD. I'm still chasing Josephine
-
The records on the GRO website index are taken from a different source to the ones on freebmd etc so the original may well have said Nach

The GRO have corrected 1926 entry to Joyce Annette NASH : that is some quick response!
-
That is a very good result :)

Is this person the same as Josephine Nash (Nach on GRO), 1925?
-
No, sorry for the confusion. The free BMD entry was for Joyce Annette NASH. The GRO had shown it as Nach. I am still chasing Josephine Nash born 1925 Manchester S. Both people have that odd entry: occasional copy:A. It is a slight possibility that both people were born to the same mother and then adopted .

No, it is Josephine who is on GRO site as Nach.
1925 M quarter, 80, 260, Manchester South.

I think Joyce Annette is in Ormskirk.
