Many thanks - I'm sure you are right. I think we have been confusing Registration Districts and County boundaries - and its become a village myth. Ancestry does have Repton under the county of Staffordshire in 1911, but otherwise its Derbyshire. People walked to work in Burton or the Earl of Chesterfield's coal mines at Bretby, but had to ford the Trent or use the ferry (1d each way on foot) to get to Derby. So Burton registration made more sense.
