Baptism transcription - query regarding the transcribed year of the baptism

Could I please query your transcribed baptism year for the record below:

CANNON, Iris May (of 22 Harriett St, born 0000-04-21).
Baptised May 9, 1925, by Arthur Robinson at Christ Church, Attercliffe.
Parents name(s) are Flora May & William Henry (Haulage Hand).
Note: ~
Godparents: ~ :Page No 77 :Reg No 611

FreeBMD.org gives 1928 for the registration of birth:
Births Jun 1928 - CANNON Iris M, TURNER, Sheffield, vol. 9c, Page 1009

FreeBMD.org gives her age at death as under 1 year old:
Deaths Mar 1929 (>99%)
Cannon Iris M 0 Sheffield 9c 1137

The parents William Henry CANNON and Flora May TURNER were married in 1926/1927
Marr. 1927, Qtr Mar Sheffield, vol 9c, Page 806

Thank you for your help

Hi Vicki

Thanks very much for your amazingly quick response.

I believe I have possibly found in your burial transcripts the entry for the same Iris May:

CANNON, Iris Mary (Daughter of William, age 9 months).
Died at 31 Sleaford Street; Buried on February 20, 1929 in Unconsecrated ground;
Grave Number 2553, Section CC of Darnall Cemetery, Sheffield.
Parent or Next of Kin if Available: ~. Remarks: from Attercliffe Parish: Officiating Minister J.W. Gregory.
Plot Owner: ~ ~ of ~. Page No ~

Could I also possibly ask you to check that the transcription is correct in this burial transcript for her second given name of Mary.

Many thanks

Leipzig

Hi Leipzig

In this case the original could be read as Mary or May but I have changed it to May
