What is information is given on a full English or Welsh Birth Certificate?
An individual’s full name, the date and place of birth (on early certificates the address information may be scanty), the child’s sex, the name of the mother, the father’s name and his occupation (unless the child was illegitimate in which case this box is left blank) and the person who informed the registrar of the birth. Also the Registration District and the signature of the Registrar. A birth certificate does not give the date or place of baptism.
