Just got a list of births and deaths from a Margaret Dempsey in Inverness and I notice there are two dates next to each birth - one being the birth date and the other the baptism date but why is the baptism date listed first? for instance next to Esther Duff the first date is: 09/02/01861 and the second is 05/02/01861 and this the dame for all of those listed the second date is before the first date so it must be that the second date is the birthdate ....Does anyone know why this is so listed?
