The birth certificate was issued in 1938, probably as part of the
documentation Maria needed, to flee from Austria.
As the birth certificate is written in a mixture of Slovakian and Latin,
a notarised german translation of all slovakian texts, was needed. According to
this translation, the comments in the last column of the certificate
read roughly thus:
In accordance with the Regulation Number 115443 from 19.11.1898, from the Ministry of Internal Affairs [the Home Office], the name was changed to "Remenyi"and further:

Biographical Notes and Snippets…
Maria was baptised as a catholic, but left the church in 1924. However, when they fled from Austria in 1938 she was able to argue that her children were still catholics, presumably to help get exit visas for them.
After fleeing from the nazis in 1938 Maria and family lived in England. When war was declared in 1939 the family were considered as 'enemy aliens'. Her husband, Hans Margulies, was interned in 1940 but Maria and the children were exempted.
Although her normal occupation was "housewife", according to the exemption-certificate she was working as a domestic servant, presumably to support the family.
