Does anyone know whether or not a baby born in September 1868 in Rochester, Kent, according to the census, could have been registered at Woolwich?

Definitely not. Course, the census could be wrong.

Hi. I always thought it should be Medway. However, as the Father worked with the navy as a tailor I just wondered.....the census is definitely right.

Thanks everyone!

Perhaps the mother went to have her baby in Woolwich if her husband was away
