I can't see any other way to interpret it, so I think you're probably right. I've never seen a register written like this before!

[JudithM]

Yes that's how I read it.

[Guest]

thanks I wasnt sure if it said 1828 for the birth ?? looked a bit like 1826
I must say I have not seen them like this before either ?

[Deb N]

Yeh, I think so. The dates in the margin are all various years (1821/1824 and so on) so these must be birth years..

I think that's how I would read it.

I thought the registers were in a standard printed form by then?

[Guest]

thanks all

It looks like it's been copied into the register book from notes made earlier. See how he has crossed out an entry which had already been copied in - I expect he'd put that bit of paper on the wrong pile, lol.

I'm so amazed I found mine on there didnt expect to.

Dates of Birth and Dates of death are often noted in Parish Registers it just depends whether the vicar could be bothered to follow the requirement to do so laid down by the various Acts of Parliament.

Some did for example the Bottesford register between 1786 and 1793 and between 1797 and 1812 and also between 1846 and 1856 the baptism register recorded births as well.
Similar periods of recording births and deaths may be found in registers up and down the country.

If you look here Val, there's a "proper" baptism entry, lol. I think the other is some sort of rough copy or maybe a Bishop's Transcript.
