Hi Neil, I looked on the free part of Ancestry BMD and I couldnt make out the registration district either - it was too faint. I had thought that the Volume was I, but my sight is not as good as it used to be, so it sounds as if I'm wrong. :-) It is a hard entry to read isnt it! Ralph didnt give us any other information about him.
