In light of what you have now said, perhaps you are looking at two different people, albeit with the same name, but born two years apart.

We should also remember that legally only 6 weeks from the actual date of birth are allowed in which to register a birth.

Whichever route you choose to order a copy of a birth certificate it would still be a copy of the original entry. Personally, I prefer to order from the GRO because you get a "photocopy" of the original (Probably still handwriting in the 1940's) and not someone elses interpretation of it.

I shall be interested to know what you eventually find out about this person.
