Short Birth Certificates

[frenchie]

My query on this wet morning is when were the Short Birth Certificates first introduced and why were they introduced when all they state is that a child and its sex was born on a certain date. I believe that even the place is not given only the registration district and sub district.  Now I have read that they are slowly not being accepted.

Stan many thanks for your reply. I did a search for this topic before I made the post but nothing came up. At least I am much wiser now.
