The second certificate, which has no backward reference to the first on certificate or index, has her correct date of birth but a later date of registration.
The original certificate is not changed.
They never correct original certificates. If an error is found or changes made they reissue another.
So I have plenty who have two marriage cert for instance as incorrect spelling is reported.
In Australia they have the same registration number but an R placed before or after the number (depending on which state).

Hmmmm.....that leads me to assume that as an adoption had taken place, rather than a new certificate being issued, the adoptive father is not the biological father? The assumption is based on the fact that it's easier to get a new certificate rather than going through a formal adoption, so to go through the adoption process must have been for a specific reason - eg. the father is not the biological father.
