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?

Thanks!
