Default Is this a Birth Certificate?

The certificate I have is an original document (sorry about the scanning - Photobucket keeps throwing me out!)

If I send off for a copy of the certificate, will I get any more information than is shown here? - Is it because it is Welsh?

Thanks

Thanks Velma

I've tried scanning it again - looks a bit better now, I think - it's just a long way down! LOL

So I guess it's worth sending for a copy then

That is a short certificate. Both my parents had them and when I got the full certificate I got parents names, and place of birth.

It's what they used to issue when the birth was registered if the parents didn't want to pay for a full certificate, before the short certificate was introduced. It was accepted instead of an actual birth certificate for many purposes.
