Dates in parish records are dates of baptism.Generally this would have taken place within a week or two of birth.People sometimes tended to be vague re actual dob.We have no way of knowing dob for pre 1864 births.I have come across anomalies in some post 1864 records ,where child's date of baptism came before stated dob on birth cert. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bonita Evjen" <bevjen@bevcomm.net> To: <IRL-LIMERICK@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 1:52 PM Subject: [IRL-LIMERICK] parish registers > > I need to clarify.
