Hi June,
Try a Descendant Chart from the end of line ancestor for the line you

many of their descendants as you can and not just your direct line,

How is it possible to have such a large chart unless it is possible to

In a nutshell, you can't. The problem is actually worse than you suggest as, in
your case, Epsom is the Registration District in which the birth was
registered, the child could have been born anywhere.
You could use "Registered in Epsom" and put privacy brackets around "Registered
