Has the wrong name been recorded?

Another Relative of mine with Wrong Name Recorded as Fact and History by the Registrar on Birth Certificate

The Mother of The Child Luke Crawford
was asked by her Husband to Record his new Son's Birth the same as his Birth Certificate including both Christian Names
The second Christian Name as tradition included his Mother's Maiden Name so that continues in the Family Tree

The Registrar didn't believe her what she wanted Recorded
So no doubt asked her to spell it.
Problem was she couldn't
So her as Informant was asked to Sign by the Registrar to confirm what he was Recording as Fact was what she said.
So she made her X to confirm the Registration Said was as her Husband's Name.
(The Mother's Maiden Name was HOYLE not OIL)

I have an 1841 marriage certificate (GRO copy) where the vicar has entered the wrong surname for the bridegroom and his father, ELDRED instead of ELDING.

Yes     -  nearly

That's what the Father asked his Wife to Register their Son the same as his but failed.

1. I'm not ShaunJ

2. Dad must have done it correctly (eventually) as it appears to be correct on 3 different databases?

Oooops KGarrad
I should have gone to Specsavers
Another example of the wrong name being recorded
Sorry
