Hi - the answer is definitely NO!!

I have a copy marriage certificate issued by Sr. Catherine's House
some twenty years ago, when they handwrote them, which says 'Gunn
Street'. In the photocopy my cousin recently received from the GRO
the address is 'Crown Street'.

I have a hand written copy birth certificate sent me a few years ago
from Westbury Registry Office which gives the mother's maiden name as
Wright. After much fruitless seeking I now believe that her name was
Knight.

Yours,

Ned Ramm
