What year are we talking here? I can't imagine that someone would put his dead wife's name on the certificate if she wasn't the mother. Are you sure the mother didn't die in childbirth and the birth of the child registered later? You had to register a death within 5 days, but the birth of a child could be left for 42 days before registering, so the mother could indeed be already dead before the child's birth was registered. |

How do you know who the birth mother was if it wasn’t on the certificate.? |

I have found that a relative on my tree had a child but used his dead wife's name on the birth certificate and not the actual mothers! |
