Isabella Mackintosh Birth Record

Through Ancestry, I found a link to British birth records and if you were in the right time period you can order them online. Very cool. I'd found an index for Isabella Mackintosh, that looked like the right time period. She'd be my grandfather Mackintosh's Aunt. I didn't know what would be in the record, and was hoping they'd list place of birth of the father, but apparently not. This record matches the right time period for a census record I found that looked like the right family in York, England. We have photos from that time period of Mackintosh's in York. In the family history another relative compiled, Isabella's mother is shown with the surname Mackenzie (and father Alfred Mackenzie). This record says Mary Ann Mackintosh formerly Steele. So, there's a disconnect to sort out. Talking to my Mom says she remembers her Dad talking about the problem with surnames. So, I'm probably treading over old ground in the fun of sorting people out from the records left behind.

Here's a brief summary of the document:
It's a certified copy of an entry of birth, from 1880, registered in the subdistrict of Micklegate in the City and County of York (England). Isabella was born the 25th of January, 1880 at 6 Fenwick Street, St. Mary Bishophill (I think it says Bishhophill, I don't know what the next word is) then York. Her father was John Mackintosh and her mother was Mary Ann Mackintosh formerly Steele. John Mackintosh' occupation was as a railway engine fitter. Apparently the state saw no need to collect information on the mothers occupation.

Interestingly, the bottom of the certified copy contains the warning "A certificate is not evidence of identity."
