Baptism query. William Swain

Can I query the following baptism records on this site....

Swain Swindin Wiliam, born 1838-08-01, Charlotte & William (cabinet case mkr)
Page no 202 reg 1609

Swain William, born 1838-08-13, Charlotte & William (cabinet case maker)
Page no 1 reg no 4

Are they both correct?

Regards
David

Re: Baptism query. William Swain

Sorry for sounding thick,, but was there 2 William's born to William & Charlotte?

On the baptism record for William b 1838 there is the following..(Note: conditionally aged 57) what would that mean!!

Re: Baptism query. William Swain

Morning David,

The stated conditionally aged 57 means that he was as it states aged 57.
Probably meaning he couldn't remember if he had been baptised or not. So he was baptised again. (Conditionally).

I have only seen that entered in the RC baptisms but I believe St Matthews was very High Anglican.

BUT.

To help you get a clearer picture......
Back to our baptisms......

Just enter Swain in the surname add also the father and mothers name and it will bring up
four entries. Look closely at the dates of birth and baptismal dates.
Those are your clues.

Been working on my IBBOTSON's over the last few days. The line was a little wonky.
Do you have a George Ibbotson who married a Mary Gray/Grey. First child Georgiana 1854

Take care..

Elaine.

Re: Baptism query. William Swain

If the births on the baptism records are correct for William Swain & William Swinden Swain there is only 11 months & 19 days between them. Would that be feasible !!! Barry's GRO dates seem to say different.

Am I getting this all completely wrong!!!

I have George Ibbotson's but not with a Mary Gray/Grey. What was George's bith date.

Thats my problem....... So many George Ibbotsons. He had died prior to 1861 as Mary states she is a widow.

My task for today is to try and sort him out.
