Yes, I got that certificate and it wasn't the right one.
We know that his mother was unmarried and in fact still unmarried in 1918 when she took him back.
We have a 'statutory declaration' filled out by his foster father in 1918, signed by Rochdale's justice of the piece to say that he was born on 14th Oct 1906
So I'm assuming that his birth was never registered.
