I'm a bit confused trying to work out where the registration district for Ightam, Kent would have been in 1945.

If anybody could help I'd be very grateful, thank you.

If unsure, I just google 'reg district xxxxx' and the relevant site will pop up.

So, in this case 'reg district Ightam, Kent' gives you:

It's a handy way of saving you a lot of guesswork!
