AND THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE FOR DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD WAS SHOWN ON THAT PART OF THE BOMFORD FAMILY TREE. AND DUE TO THE KERFUFFLE, HE REMOVED IT.
So the question is, was the document accessed through the British archives or was it accessed from the family tree webpage. There may be cause to question, depending on if access was through the British archives, AND WHEN...if this may have been a core document for the document presented as a birth certificate that accomapnied the application for a divorce in 1964. What was created and presented as a joke MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SO FUNNY TO START WITH.

Someone posted this elsewhere:
I wanted to see if I could find any images of similar documents from Kenya around the same time period that could be compared to the certificate on the web. I spent several hours with Google image search on that before I decided to broaden my search outside of Kenya-specific documents.
It was some time later that I finally spotted a thumbnail on one of the results pages that looked very much like the Kenyan certificate. I pulled up the full size image and found that it was virtually EXACTLY the same type of document.
It was a scanned image of a “Certified Copy of Registration of Birth” dated in 1964 for a David Jeffrey Bomford on a genealogy website for the Bomford family. Except that David Jeffrey Bomford wasn’t born in Kenya, he was born in South Australia. But what was even more interesting was certain other features of the document as compared to the Kenya certificate.
The names of the registrar and the district registrar were the SAME NAMES as given in the Kenya certificate save for the first initials, i.e. G.H. Lavender and J.H. Miller in the Bomford document versus E.H. Lavender and M.H. Miller in the Kenya document.
Also, the book number (44B) and page number (5733) were the exactly the same on both documents.
The image of the Bomford certificate seems to prove beyond any doubt that not only is the Kenya certificate a fake, but that whomever faked it used the Bomford certificate as the template.
SO THERE YOU GO...UNLESS DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD FAKED HIS OWN BC THAT HE PLACED ON THE BOMFORD FAMILY WEBSITE, THERE’S THE ORIGIN OF THE DOCUMENT.
