Bob, I'd suggest that baby Joseph was born to the Mary who died but not baptised until the February afterwards, so in 1747/8. Unless he was born-before-wedlock to John and the 2nd Mary. It's possible perhaps that other dates which seem wrong may have been transcribed wrongly because the years in the register are hard to make out. I often have this trouble, frequently have to go back and forth in the register trying to see where one year ends and the next begins - that's extra hard to do when unable to look at the register itself and having to use images of pages instead, online or on film/fiche or photos, as the transcribers may have done. Could be worth asking Notts Local Studies (at Central Library) or the Archives to check for you?
