might be a maiden name from an earlier generation ....
In FreeBMD, The Auckland District entry has an Emily with no 2nd forename - did you get the Cert to discover the name of 'Gomer' ?

If it wasnt for the fact that the 1871 and 1881 census also show Hants (IOW in 1881) as her PoB, I'd have said it was really Gosforth ....
Why would Thomas Bates, a Printer, go to Hampshire for a short period - or rather his wife - and have a child there, but registered and baptised in Auckland ?

Do you know Thomas Bates' mother's Maiden name ?
I see that young Emily was with her Aunt Isabella in 1881 - Isabella and Thomas are still at home in 1851, but Dad John is a Widower.
1851 - HO107/2385; Folio: 311; Page: 31 - Bishop Auckland
Their 84 year old Grandmother Margaret Bates is there too ...

btw, there does seem to be a part of Gosport known as Gomer - according to Google !
Alverstoke, a village, a parish, and a liberty in Hants. The village stands adjacent to Stoke Bay station on the L. & S.W.R., opposite Spithead, 1 3/4 mile SSW of Gosport. It is a pleasant place, with charming environs. The parish includes also the town of Gosport, the villages of Forton, Hardway, and Elson, the watering-place of Anglesey, the villas of Alverbank, the Royal Marine Barracks, the Haslar Barracks, the Royal Naval Hospital, Blockhouse Fort, and Forts Rowner, Gomer, Brockhurst, Monckton, and Grange. Acreage, 3783, of which 1223 are water and foreshore; population of the civil parish, 25,452 ; of the ecclesiastical, with Anglesey and Newtown, 10,734. It has a post, money order, and telegraph office. The manor was given by the noble Saxon lady Alwara to the church of Winchester, and it still belongs to the Bishop of Winchester as superior. Many excellent mansions, villas, and other residences, with gardens and terraces, adorn the surface and the shores, and a rich extensive prospect is enjoyed of the Solent and the Isle of Wight Stoke Bay is now a noted roadstead, where all the steam war-ships when newly fitted with their engines test their speed at the measured mile.

Fort Gomer was a Palmerston Fort in Alverstoke between Browndown Point and Fort Grange. It is sadly long gone now.
A child's birth was supposed to be registered in the place where it occurred. So I find it odd that she could be registered in Bishop Auckland, according to the GRO, but say she was born in Gosport in Hampshire for the census.
