Registration District: Nottingham
Inferred County: Nottinghamshire

Are you sure it was January?

Someone has presumably rr'd your opening post because you have similar information in the other one.
But as they are completely different people (Walter for this, Allen Jolly for the other) information is not being duplicated.
