Well, that was my take on it, haven’t heard it discussed.... though I may have missed it. It’s hard to get everything on threads as big as these.... Especially when over 90% of it is unfounded opinions and wild speculation. I think that 10% rule has been turned upside down. The three dates on the document are below, the last one appears to be at the equivalent of the courthouse/registrars office.
Birth - August 4, 1961 - Friday
Date of Registration - August 5, 1961 - Saturday
District Registry Office - August 9, 1961 - Wednesday

So, he’s born the 4th.
Perhaps the 5th was when he was entered in the hospital records.
The 9th would be when he was entered into this supposed Book 44B.
I had a brain freeze (gee at 5000 posts) so it does say it is the District Office of Coast Province, Mombasa, Republic of Kenya. Hmm, now what is and where specifically is this office? Wonder if there is a higher office where this info might also be recorded before it made it’s way to England? Are we still assuming eventually it would be forwarded to Britain depending on Mombasa’s 10 mile/republic/flavor of the week status?
