Hi Joanne, You asked if you have the right William?

I presume that this is your William in 1891

That's the best thing to do and if his father is named as William and his age matches as being born 1860 then I think that is his birth registration that I found mistransribed as Cowlstock.

I think you have to be very careful. There seems to be a couple of William Coulstocks born about that time in the Chiddingstone/Penshurst area. Take care you don't get them muddled.

I am really confused now. I cant afford to buy all the birth certs to see which is right or not.

I am always confused with censuses, i dont know why, it is really simple i know but for some reason my head never gets the information right.

Thankyou for finding all this information for me.

Like the other's have said it was not compulsory to register a birth then, but more likley that he was baptised, so try searching the parish records for Chiddingstone, which are held at the Centre for Kentish Studies, Maidstone.
If you cannot get to Maidstone, then contact the Kent Family History Society as they may have some one that can do the search for you

I would advise the first thing to do would be to buy his marriage cert to check his father's name and occupation.

His age seems to be consistent after his marriage.
