[The birth registration has errors. The father is John Joseph Williams instead of just John. The mother's maiden name is Crabb instead of Crapp (and third child Peter Crabb instead of Peter Crapp). And previous issue has George Francis aged four, yet he died in 1973. Mary Ann is the informant, registering the birth on 13 February.

The death registration also has errors. His age is five weeks, yet by the birth and death dates it is 46 days or over six weeks. Again the father is John Joseph Williams instead of just John. And again the mother's maiden name is Crabb instead of Crapp. This time, John is the informant, registering as John Joseph 'his X mark' Williams on 26 February.]
