Solution to the Bomford / Kenyan issue.
The 44B 5573 refers to a book (44B) and a page in a book (5573)
I think I have that part figured out.
1 is the first book, then 2, up to 999
then
1A is right after 999, then 2A, up to 999A
then
1B is right after 999A, then 2B, up to 999B
Anyway, we have the method to find the answer.
Book / Page does or did work in South Australia
The District Code for HINDMARSH is HIN.
if 44B 5573 is Bomford, then the Kenyan doc is fake.
The following link gives 63 matches for South Australia and
Hin
44B 5573 is not found in ancestry.com, but I assume that it
would be fairly easy for someone in Australia to find it all out.
So, you know, that’s how you find out the answer. No more guessing at fonts.
Either 44B 5573 = Bomfort, and the Kenyan doc is fake or
44B 5573 does not = Bomfort, and the Aussie doc is fake.
So, you know, somebody with some money should get the answer today.
The Kenyan doc is a fake.
(excerpt)
Kenya was part of the British Empire in 1961, and as such, used English Common Law for any type of records and registration.
Australia joined the British Commonwealth of Nations in December, 1931 (see Wikipedia nation members’ list) and also uses English Common Law.
So, i’ve (blogger at Defend Our Freedoms Blog)established that both countries use English Common Law. One country, Kenya, when it was part of the British empire in 1961, and the other country, Australia, after it joined the Commonwealth of Nations (and was formly part of the British empire).
Because both countries use English Common Law (or did as members of the Commonwealth and British Empire), they were subject to the provisions of the English Common Law of Births and Deaths Registration Act 1953.

The bind that makes them nearly identical: British Common Law (albeit the Seal, Deputy Registrar, and Commonwealth Symbol)
