I assume you have checked the census records? Compare the age given, over several censi?

As February 1859 is 9 months prior to November 1859, I’d search for the obstetrician’s records! :-} While searching for the death of my great great grandfather William Jones, I did come across one William Jones who according to the Guernsey burial records, died three after he was buried. I imagine he obviously couldn’t hold his breath any longer. It just shows that typos occurred before the invention of the typewriter! However, back to your baptism, I would surmise that the child was born November 1858 and baptised February 1859. Do you have access to the whole register, or just the one entry? An examination of the rest of the register should allow you to gain a better perspective on the dates in the particular entry.
