Born before the parents' marriage.
Although the GRO Index doesn't say so, perhaps it was to correct some detail on the original registration?

Birth:
SINCLAIR, MARGARET MORRIS mms GILFELLON
GRO Reference: 1898 M Quarter in LANCHESTER Volume 10A Page 315

Or perhaps the 1898 child died.
By 1911 the parents had had three children and one had died.


EDIT:
NO - see below.
The 1898 Margaret was the daughter of a different couple.

There's also this birth:

SINCLAIR, MAY mms GILFELLON
GRO Reference: 1900 J Quarter in LANCHESTER Volume 10A Page 335

Can't be a sibling of Margaret.

Looks like there were two Sinclair/Gilfellon couples in Lanchester, so one of the Margarets may be the child of the other couple.
