I don't know how the 1921 Free search came up with the answer posted (Essex) but looking at the original it identifies both "place" and "county".

The County has wrongly been written against the sons entry,  Lilys entry just gives a town name

Any clue will do!

More than one place with the same name, it's just the Essex one is probably the best known 

Why might her son have two counties given as his birthplace?

I mentioned in the opening post Lily's PoB was not "properly completed". However, if you go by the bracket that covers the childrens' PoB,  it does not extend to Lily's "county" which is entered below "place".
Still cannot see where "Essex" comes from?

No mention of Essex anywhere on the schedule, it's the transcriber's own addition.  If it was anc doing the transcription it would probably be somewhere by the same name in the USA!

There is a W*d on the outskirts of London, traditionally in Essex.
