baptism and death

in my tree i have a Lily Driver
from this site i have date of birth 06/11/1901 and baptism as 20/11/1901,
however from a disc i bought i have burial in Tinsley Park Cemeterey on 17/11/1901, Something is wrong here because she cannot have been baptised after she was buried,
Can anyone give me the correct dates please,
many thanks in anticipation

The burial date on the Sheffield FHS disc is 17th Dec 1901

Hello Muriel

I have checked the original register entry and our transcription is correct

Born 6 November 1901
Baptised 20 November 1901

There were number of baptisms at Christ Church Attercilffe on the same day and Lily is listed in the middle of them so I can't see the vicar having the wrong date.
