I have done extensive research in the British Isles and I use the Apr Qtr 1851 as the registered birth, it tells me at a glance that 1) I can (need to) order the actual certificate and 2) reminds me to look at the marriage and death fields to see where I’m at there.
Before 1837, registration was not required so the dates we find are Baptismal dates, which generally speaking, we know that the birth ocurred earlier. Hope This Helps!!!

As an example, I have been entering in the birth field Mar Q 1841 which is the date when the birth was registered. I am wondering if others enter Abt 1841 in the birth date field and make an event for the birth registration.
