Re: Baptism transcription - query regarding the mother's name

I also have a baptism query - this seems strange that he is baptised before he was born
HIBBERT, Frank (of 148 Eldon St, born 1926-10-11).
Baptised September 3, 1926, by George W Turner at St Jude, Eldon Street.
Parents name(s) are Emily & Arthur (Labourer).

Hi Leipzig

Poor letter formation so could be read as either - I have amended to Edna.

Thanks for letting me know

Hi Susan

The transcription is correct - I presume the minister has made an error somewhere.

Hi, the error is the baptism date - Frank was my Dad and his birthday was 11 Oct. 1926
