A full translation would be appreciated (the handwriting is horrible), but most importantly need Ber Grossbard's actual date of birth, which is mentioned before the mother's name. The record is 1919 but I'm wondering if it's a late registration. Thank you!

Hello,
The handwriting isn’t too messy, actually, just somewhat stylized. And it is indeed a delayed registration. Here is a translation (note that all ages are as of 1919, not 1909).

Lublin, 9 September 1919, 11 o’clock in the morning. There appeared the Jew Hersz Grosbard, the father, painter, 47 years old, resident of Lublin; in the presence of witnesses Icek Majer Horowicz, teacher, 47 years old, and Berek Puchman, house owner, 57 years old, both residing in Lublin; and declared that a boy was born in Lublin at ulica Podzamcze 21, on 12 June 1909 at 9 o’clock in the evening, to him [Hersz] and his wife, Chaia Brucha Grosbard née Kupferman, 49 years old. The boy was given the name Ber at circumcision. He [Hersz] did not justify the delay in reporting [the birth]. This act was read to those present and signed by them and us [the civil registrar].
