Events had to registered in the Registration District in which they had occurred. Perhaps they had moved to another area. The Act states
Any person required by this Act to give information con­cerning a birth, who removes before such birth is registered out of the sub-district in which such birth has taken place, may, within three months after such birth, give the information by making and signing in the presence of the registrar of the sub-district in which he resides a declaration in writing of the particulars required to be registered concerning such birth; and such registrar ­on payment of the appointed fee shall receive and attest the declaration and send the same to the registrar of the sub-district in which the birth took place
