Note:
Under the Births and Deaths Registration Act, 1874 it was "the duty of the father and mother of the child, and in default of the father and mother, of the occupier of the house in which to his knowledge the child is born, and of each person present at the birth, and of the person having charge of the child, to give to the registrar, within forty-two days next after such birth, information of the particulars required to be registered concerning such birth, and in the presence of the registrar to sign the register". You were liable to be fined if a birth was registered late and so to avoid paying the fine it appears that some families gave a date of birth for the child later than the actual date and such can result in the baptism date predating the birth date in the records, and causing confusion for some researchers.
