Hi. I don't have answers to all of your questions but the one regarding why her birth
would be recorded so many years later sounds similar to what my Grandma had happen. When
she needed to get her passport, they realized she had not been registered at birth. She
had to declare when and where she had been born and find some witnesses to the fact and
they proceeded to register her birth. It seems it wasn't always as important to get
babies registered back then as it is now. I hope this helps shed a bit of light on your
this question, at least.
