Found this on the GRO birth index - what does it mean, please?
The birth is indexed twice - Q4 1907 with the above note, again Q1 1908. Same volume , different page numbers.
No mother's maiden name for either entry.
1911 census the child is with a couple who I believe were his maternal grandparents, although he is recorded as "son."
Loads of Ancestry trees with this couple recorded as parents of the boy - IMO he probably belonged to their eldest daughter, but was brought up by the couple.
"Believed" grandfather recorded as parent/guardian on school record.
A few more attribute him to another male relative and wife, who did have a child with the same forename, indexed 1906 and with relevant mmn. I'm quite sure these researchers are wrong - this lad was recorded with his parents and siblings in 1911 census.
A couple of tree owners agree with me and have eldest daughter of the grandparents as the mother. (I know getting the BC is probably the only way of certifying parentage but as he is quite a distant twig on my tree, I don't really want to buy the BC at present.)
So I'm hoping the phrase in the index may shed some light on the parentage of the lad.
