The GRO didn't come into being until the latter part of 1837 - and there was no penalty for not registering a birth until 1875

It was not compulsory to register births until 1875 so it simply might not have been registered

I am trying to find a birth for my GT GT GT GT Grandad.

William Coulstock born 1837, there is only 2 matches and he isnt there. Born in Chiddingstone, Kent, husband of Jane Coulstock, dont know mmn.
I think they only had 1 child, William born 1862 and found i think the right birth but looks like he may have been a twin as there is a John Coulstock above him ref 2a 415 2nd qtr 1862. But at age 10 he is the only child so maybe i have gone wrong somewhere.

Can anyone help please?
