I'm curious why you would use the date of the registration of the birth as the date of birth. The birth may have been before that quarter (almost certainly so if registered on the first day of the quarter) and, as in some instances of early registrations in my tree, may have even occurred a year earlier. I use the quarter dates for the date of the *event* of "Birth Registration". For the birth date I use "Bef. (the first of the month of the next quarter)". So for a registration date of 2Q 1930 I'd show the birthdate as Bef. 1 Jul 1930.
