Hi Elaine

Just to confirm that the original image does have the birth as

25 Nov 1879

And the Baptism date of 29 Jan 1879.

So the birth date was recorded as after the baptism date.

Our original transcription was correct and it was an error made by the minister at the time.

Just cannot find Fred ... or 1939
A possibility for the 1901 couple (with a nearby address to 1911):
1939 register, Stocksbridge
62 Hayward Park
Ibbotson, Fred, 29 Dec 78, M(arried), motor attendant steel works
Ibbotson, Alice A, 1 Feb 74, M, unpaid domestic duties

There are 6 Fred Ibbotson births (BMD) Dec 1878 - March 1879 quarters (3 Sheffield, 1 Ecclesall B)!

Hi Denise,

Yup it happens, especially when a child is born at the end of a year but not registered until the new year.The Vicar then carries on with a new mistake. But we have it sorted for Dave now. LOL.

Elaine.

Yes I thank you all. I have taken advantage of the new £2.50 digital image certs from GRO and caught up on the last birth Certs for the children of my William & Elizabeth (ggp) which I had not got.....BUT still missing one..Edith Ibbotson 1874-1877. She is on SI baptism record, and is buried in Loxley with Elizabeth's Swain family members (Elaine's find). But cannot find Edith on GRO with a mmn Swain?
