Baptism query

[Guest]

if a bap says baptism date 10 Nov 1797 and then Born 17 Jul last would you say it means the same year or the year before ? reason I ask is because a sibling was born a few months later which cannot be right.

It means 17 July 1797.

Thanks Mary as I thought one of the siblings is not theirs
