There’s an index-only baptism for Edgar Leslie Knight at Stafford (surprisingly) on 19 March 1908, son of George Henry Knight & Isabel.
Yes, I found that too, and it doesn't seem to make sense if he was born in Bristol.

There doesn’t seem to be a separate Edgar which this could relate to, and the date fits well with his birthdate, 26 February 1908.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

It doesn’t help here, but. Did you know that if the GRO indexers couldn’t read the surname it is entered as ..., so if you cant find someone, it is worth trying

As shown for females 1908 +/- 2 yrs

Yes.

But FreeBMD indexes ten births including Edgar Leslie Knight with the same reference - Bristol, 1908, June quarter, Vol 6a, Page 5 - and all 10 are missing altogether from the births index on the GRO web site. Not just the mothers' maiden surnames, everything. I think the GRO must have missed a page out when they were indexing that book.

Published where? (Not that I would trust any published tree, but it might be a starting point.)

Still can't find a marriage, however, so maybe they were married overseas. Or maybe not at all.
