This could be what you are looking for
Births Sep 1864
KEEN Minnie Potterspury 3b 24

Potterspury is the registration district for both Wolverton, Stony Stratford East and Stony Stratfor West

Their are no other Minnie Keen's registered in 1864. The fact it is in Sep qtr doesn't necessarily matter as they had at least six weeks to register a birth.

Researching:
Go on, make my day!
