Same two birth registrations in one quarter - why?

[Galium]

Apologies if this info is not new to you.  The birth is also registered indexed* with the surname Sargent (ref. 2c  37).  The mother appears to have been married previously, and the parents not married until 1914.
There is a Sargent - Plaster marriage in Bristol in 1907
and a Starling - Sargent marriage in Devonport 1914. The bride's first name is the same each time

So it looks as if one registration (ref.2c 2) was given as if the parents were a married couple, and the second includes the mother's former married name.

*sorry, should have said indexed in the first place. There will only be one registration for that reference, but indexed twice to show the two different names.

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.
