   The only way to know for sure is to buy the .pdf of the register entry   
   and see what the margin entry  says   
      
   I've checked with various certs/ pdfs I have from around that time and   
   NO child was registered  'with' a surname on a birth cert .   
      
   From a birth cert dated 1885   
   There were 10 columns   
      
   1 When and where born   
   2 Name (if any) - (this was  just a first name if yet decided upon for   
   the child)   
   3 Sex   
   4 name and surname of father   
   5 name, surname and maiden name of mother   
   6 Occupation of father   
   7 Signature, description and residence of informant   
   8 when registered   
   9 signature of registrar   
   10 Name entered after registration
