Re: Baptism date query. Edith Ibbotson

Is it possible that the Edith baptised on 18th November 1877 is a second child called Edith, named after the one that died in October and so hence the one that died born 1874 and no baptism found yet.

Hi Elaine

Strange one that especially as there does not seem to be a birth record for her either, But thanks for checking.

We should have put a tilde in the baptism date cell.

Hi Terry

But we have the baptism date (albeit that it might be incorrect and an error on the part of the parish clerk/ minister making the entry?

Re: Baptism date query. Edith Ibbotson

Can I ask......seeing that Edith Ibbotson was baptised (albeit error on date) would her parents have had to register the birth to allow them to have her baptised?

Re: Baptism date query. Edith Ibbotson

David, the answer is definitely no.
