Thomas William Palmer's birth was registered Jul-Sep 1846 Bethnal Green and indexed under both surnames - Palmer and Wingfield. The GRO site just lists him under Palmer and shows MMN as - .

Ahh it is her then
Oh never saw the Wingfield one, only looking on GRO and looked for it on Ancestry to post here. Good because I ordered the PDF. Thank you everyone, hopefully he didn't die but as he isn't on 1861 but he would be 15 and quite likely a servant somewhere. I had better look for a death. |

Would that mean Frederick was with Sarah when Thomas was registered?

It would after 1875 but maybe not in 1846.

Thank you, neither could I. Perhaps she didn't register Louisa. Couldn't find any baptisms for any of them.

So for Emma Anne's registration if she was on her own she wouldn't have to prove she was married?

No. My ancestor registered her baby under the (reputed) father's surname in 1840. The registrar accepted this.
The rector knew perfectly well that she was on her own - as the reputed father married another girl he had got into trouble - so the baptism was under the mother's surname. Registrars had to cover such a wide area that they appear to have known very little of the lives of those who came to register events. Even where they asked questions, they appear not to have checked the answers.

When BM's great aunt went to register her illegitimate baby, the question of who the dad was completely threw her. She'd already used her own surname, so she named her brother as the father
We assume that this was a panicked attempt to appear respectable, rather than acknowledging a case of incest
