Hi Hazel, Could the entry with the words "Omitted into proper place" and the date, be because when the register was filled out this entry got left out in error and was later added to the register with the note about being omitted? Where on the page does that baptism appear? Is the date of baptism given for the baptism out of order in the register? In that entry are there perhaps 2 dates, one being the date of the baptism and the other being the date the omission was added to the register, as a correction might be added to any document? If you see what I mean? Did you find the baptism in the actual Parish Register or in the Bishop's Transcripts of them? It could be that if you found it in the BTs then it could have been omitted in the copying when the PRs were copied to make up the BTs and so the entry was added at the end with the note of it's having been omitted in it's proper place? It all depends on how the entry is written up and whether it is shown out of date order, perhaps at the bottom of the page or something. Otherwise, if the entry is in the correct date order of the PR/BT then Ann is probably right and it should read Admission, as in being received into the church.
