My question is: Could they have been twins but only one was registered in Chelsea and the other in Dorchester in the next quarter?
Well in theory a definite No . These days I have seen twins born different days and with an ambulance/helicopter taking the mum to a bigger hospital inbetween, but no chance of then then! Children were registered in the place they were born or if the informant found it easier to go to a different reg office, the entry should still appear under the birth district if that was different.

Next possibility is that there has been a hugh **** ** with the GRO/register office transfer of info, but I can't imagine how that could be really (only if something went wrong with the events suggested at the end of my last para).

Other possibilities?? I'll have a think over my mackerel on toast (s'posed to be good for the brains!??) and get back to you afterwards!
