my great grandfather Robert Watson, I believe was born in Chelsea London on 25 September 1838 and his father was Charles. I have attempted to find the relevant index on UKBMD but there appears to be a gap from 1837 to 1841 under Chelsea in the district drop down menu. Is anyone able to assist me.  Sojar

Chelsea came under the Kensington registration district for the period 1837-1841

It was not unusual this early on in registration for births not to be registered.
ADDED Cathy could well be right about the unamed Watson  :)
