Who registered the birth?

What was the address on the cert?

Why would Beatrice 'folllow' her child's father.............and leave that child behind?

The 1912 travel record for Stanley Jeffery posted above by ErikaH is the correct one

He's travelling with his mother, Mrs E Jeffery, 49, and sister Kate 12.

On the line above them, but with a different ticket number, there's a Laura Jeffery 21

JEFFERY, LAURA EMMIE mmn YOUNG
GRO Reference: 1890 D Quarter in CROYDON Volume 02A Page 202

JEFFERY, STANLEY FRED mmn YOUNG
GRO Reference: 1895 S Quarter in DARTFORD Volume 02A Page 481

JEFFERY, YOUNG KITTIE PRETORIA mmn YOUNG
GRO Reference: 1900 J Quarter in TUNBRIDGE Volume 02A Page 774


That fits the 1911 census posted on page 1 by Rose.
