Greyghost - just to advise you that LancsBMD indexes by year of birth, not quarter of registration. Here's an example:

Name: Mother's Maiden Surname:
SCOTT, ISABELLA RHODEN Order
GRO Reference: 1855 M Quarter in WIGAN Volume 08C Page 8

Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1854
Surname Forename(s) Mother's Maiden Name Sub-District Registers At Reference
SCOTT Isabella RHODEN Aspull Wigan & Leigh ASPL/10/250

A 7 Jan 1855 baptism at Wigan All Saints says the birth was 27 Dec.

Thank you mgnv - I was using the Quarter to try and illustrate whether there was time between births for another to fit! A birth mid-November 1852 and then end December 1854 would leave time for one between, but as there were baptisms with birth dates for the Solomons, it then showed a much narrower window of opportunity, almost negating the chance. Not every birth date is shown on a baptism record and not every birth has a baptism online so lucky with these that it shortened the odds.
