West Ham is apparently in Suffolk and Hendon is in Oxfordshire.
My grandad was born in 1900 in Headington registration district, which covered a large area of Oxfordshire. From memory, three websites have recorded the details correctly but another two insist he was born in Hendon RD, Middlesex. It looks like one site made the mistake and the other one blindly copied. My guess is that someone chose the wrong RD from a drop-down list - Headington/Hendon, meh, who cares? It's near enough.
Coombs, are you researching COOPER at all?

Not any Cooper's in Oxon or Berks yet but many rellies from those areas especially in the Abingdon areas.
I know Rochford and Rochdale have been confused with each other in the BMD indexes.
