I have a copy of Strange's entry in the birth register. There seems to be some confusion about the spelling of his last name ("Strange" was apparently changed to "Strainge"?) and about his date of birth (in the "When Born" column it says "Ninteeth", but in the margin somebody wrote "Ninth" plus two letters – could that be initials? or is the marginal note supposed to mean something else?).

The initials "J.S." are of John Simpson, the Registrar, authorising the amendments denoted by the number "9" to the surnames of the father and mother. The date of birth of the nineteenth is unchanged. It is odd that "Strange" is altered to "Strainge", especially as the father's signature is not so altered. Also, their first and third child (Charles was their second) were both registered as "Strange".
