Birth Certificate question (General)

I hope as you all have a fair bit of knowledge someone may be able to help me! I have a photo copy of a birth certificate, the copy of which was 1955 for a birth of 1906. There is no record of the entry when I have checked the entry 'for real'. Any one have any idea why this is not in the book? I also have on my husbands side a relative who was on the 1901 census as a baby in prison with his mother but again no entry on the BMD. Would this one be because he may have been born in prison?
Many thanks Jacky
