If you don't wish to do that, then I agree with Iain and would also suggest to declare all discrepancies upfront. If its an issue with the ECO, they would *probably* ask you to explain the dates on the document.

hi Ben,

thanks for sharing your thoughts in my post.

I think my case is not the same as your wife. My daughter's Name, Sex, date and place of birth are ALL correct. In Phil. BC, there is a portion where in you need to put the date and place of marriage of the parents so as the child could use the father's surname. And that portion is my problem.

Should I put everything about this in my cover letter? that it was intentional and i didnt know? woudl the ECO accept that reasoning and the discrrepancy thing wont be an issue anymore? and actually we have no contact with him anymore or know where he is, we were abandoned when my child was only 1 year and 7months.
