Pigelet,

The record itself does not state "Woolwich Middlesex", so they didn't get confused!

The actual record says "Parish of Woolwich in the county of London"
For the individual baptism, only the road name in which they lived is stated (looks like Rush Grove Street). As there is no other info, I would start with the premis that "of this parish" would apply. So Rush Grove Street, Parish of Woolwich in the county of London.

The reference to Middlesex is in Ancestry's indexing, which is known for being unreliable.

Thanks, all. That is interested. I would love to visit Woolwich one day.

I think I saw a picture of a building on 1 Rush Grove Street in google. So old buildings of 1 Rush Grove Street has been demolished?

Regards, Steven.

Steven - re "This week, I received GRO email to say that I have unsuccessful to find her birth registration for 3 years search from 1889 to 1891 with her birth of place, Kent."

The County of London (which included Woolwich) came into existence 21/3/1889, so I'm thinking your search covered Woolwich at best 1889q1, and maybe not even that.
