Thanks. Might not be for a while for unrelated reasons which may prevent me looking much at family history for a while.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Can anyone tell me what registration district "ADALE" is an abbreviation for?

It is used for Mabel Wilson's birth in 1899

If you have the registration number in this case 1899 #203, then look at registrations either side it and this may give a clue.

So 1899 #202 is ARDALE and 1899 #204 is ARMADALE.
