Hello SuperSleuths!
I am trying to find the residents of 9 St Katherines Road Kensington - specifically in 1879, but if that is not possible from the 1871 Census.
Sarah Elizabeth Westcott listed it as her residence on Henry Iggulden Westcott's birth certificate on 4 Dec 1879, I'm trying to find who she was living with.
In 1871 she is a servant at Camden Cottages, so I know she doesn't live there in 1871, unless she was just working the night of the census? In 1881 she was a servant working at 102 Bishopsgate St, London.
She had a second boy in 1876 - Charles Alfred Iggulden Westcott. I haven't got that birth cert yet so not sure if that was her residence then.
I've done DNA and have no Iggulden matches. She married a George Matthews, but I have no Matthews matches either.
On that branch, I have Peckham/Packham/Carter/Jenner matches.

Another Henry is also a butcher but younger and in Chelsea.
Someone must have gone with her to baptize Charles and "posed as Mr Westcott"

Woah! I never looked for his baptism (I only really looked at Harry) - Thank you so much, I think you're right, someone is posing as Mister Westcott when he is really Mr Someone Else...

Thank you, everyone, you have given me tonnes of extra hints to follow.
Regarding the lack of DNA matches and the father found on a baptism posing as Mr Westcott - here is my theory I'm going to follow.
Henry Iggulden (butcher) may very well be the father of Charles, but as none of his descendants has tested yet, I can't confirm.
Henry Iggulden Westcott was given the same middle name to make it look like Sarah's maiden name she was passing down to both boys, but he has another, different father (after all, Charles was born first, three years prior and her and 'Henry Iggulden' didn't marry in that time).
Thank you all again!
If I have a new break through I will update here.
