Find Ancestors

Hi
I am going around in circles trying to find the correct family line of my Grandfather Fred William Harrod. It appears to be a common name pre 1900.
I have a dilapidated birth certificate for him but it is unfortunately torn through the date. All I can see for sure is his name, that it was witnessed on 6th July 1895 at Saint James sub district and 'registered at 119 of my record book' whatever that means.
My searches keep ending up in Dover but is there a link to Saint James there?
The Fred Harrod in list in Dover was born in Dover but his mother was born in Sutton St James Lincoln.
Could his father have made an error?
Any help would be appreciated.

I'll let you decide !

St James, Beaminster, Dorset DT8, UK
St James, Wantage, Oxfordshire OX12, UK
St James, Dauntsey, Chippenham, Wiltshire SN15, UK
St James, Bedmond Rd, Pimlico, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire HP3, UK
St James, Appley Rd, Newport, Isle Of Wight PO33, UK
St James, Park Rd, Toddington, Dunstable, Bedfordshire LU5, UK
St James, Combe Bank Farm, Ovenden Rd, Sundridge, Kent TN14, UK
St James, Fore St, Goldsithney, Penzance, Cornwall TR20, UK
St James, Church Ln, Gawsworth, Macclesfield, Cheshire SK11, UK

Hi Victoria, thanks for that. Dover it must be.
By any chance, can you find his parents wedding/mothers maiden name? The 1911 Census shows them married 18 years but I can't find anything in 1892-1895.

I can't find a marriage to a Rose so I think you'll have to get another copy of the Fred - Dover birth cert to get her full name - Rose could be her middle name.
