But of course you have to recognise that England and Wales birth registrations, by quarter, are exactly what they say - registrations. The actual birth could have occurred some time before that. Even a birth in October could well be registered in the following January and so show up in the "March qtr". Even deaths could just slip into this if the death occurred in the last 2-3 days of a quarter. Only marriages are indexed according to when the event took place as the ceremony and registration take place at the same time.

Disadvantage is that it is more wordy.
