 records-access-alerts  ...An interesting decision
A  child born in the Spring of 2019 was not registered, which is required under the Birth and Death Registration Act of 1953 whose purpose is to create a public record relating to all births and deaths in England and Wales.  It requires that every birth of every child born in England and Wales to be registered by the registrar of births and deaths. The law also stipulates who are qualified to give the birth information, which includes both mothers and fathers as well as any person having charge of the child. The father is opposed to registration, the mother is not prepared to register the child but is not opposed to someone else registering on her behalf. 

The social services department has the responsibility for the baby's welfare and it is that organization which asked the high court to intervene once the man and his partner (which are not identified for legal reasons) failed to register the birth.  The father and his partner are being assessed for parenting skills, before the child's long-term future are made. The father's behavior before a family court judge resulted in a prison sentence for him and his partner.

The judge ruled it was in the best interest for the child to be have his birth registered in order for him to be recognized as a citizen and entitled to benefits of citizenship.

History

The father's "unique" belief is that when a child is registered it "becomes an asset to the country" and therefore his son will become controlled by a State which he perceives to be authoritarian and capricious.  The father regarded registering a birth as the equivalent of making an entry on to a ship’s manifest.

To read the decision go to: https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Fam/2019/1572.pdf

To read an article on this unusual case about birth certificates see:
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/jun/23/man-refused-to-register-sons-birth-high-court
Delaware HB 114 was amended from extending embargo periods for birth, marriage and death records to increasing the embargo period for marriage records only- and then only for ten years.  Under the new law, marriage records are now embargoed for 50 years. Additionally,  the law requires an analysis of any further embargo enlargements as well as the granting of limited disclosure.  The bill was signed by the governor on June 26th.  The more palatable bill is due to the work of the genealogical community and Senator Stephanie Hansen who is her family genealogist.  When the bill was passed out of its original house of origin, the House, it had embargo periods for birth records from 72 years to 80 years for date of birth and from 40 years to 50 years for death and marriage.

Senator Hansen is facilitating a meeting of interested parties, including the genealogical community, the county clerks of the peace and the office of vital records to discuss the issue of what information should be able, when, how, and by whom.

To read the new law see: http://legis.delaware.gov/BillDetail?legislationId=47308 and click on final/engrossed bill text or see attached.

    Wow, Chris, you are a link-posting phenomenon! I love picking a few to read, and then wandering around in those blogs. This week I loved reading about the aboriginal library and the finding of the oasis in Simpson Desert. Always love Claudia's and CosyCottage too!
