Ah that all makes sense now & you are right.  I did know the mother was going through a divorce at the time & I didn't think to look if the birth was also registered under Sargent.  Thanks Galium.

Thank you Stan for your input, much appreciated, it's given me a different slant on this anomaly.  SS

The original page viewed on line is the printed list published by GRO so I guess the transcription of that originated from what was sent in from the district concerned (whether that was typed or written?) so maybe "unsure of page number" could be the answer.  I hadn't thought it just could be "indexed twice, not necessarily registered twice".

Gas street was at the bottom end of Champford Lane, so between Foxdown Terrace and the junction with Mantle Street.  So named due to the Wellington Gas & Coke Co formed in 1833 which had its works in Champford Lane, there were also large gasholders and opposite was the milk factory.  These were all demolished and new houses built (Champford Mews, Willcocks Close & Walkers Gate).  The current access into Champford Lane was created through the old milk factory entrance just over 20 years ago so the current Champford Mews was the original line of Champford Lane.  Although Gas Street might appear to be big on various census the cottages would have been small.

Well done for persevering and looking in other counties for them.  Hope the marriage certificate does confirm what you think.  Would be interested to know the outcome!
