May I ask where they come from, since it looks to me as if they are transcribed from registers and someone has taken it upon themselves to attribute the New Style dating? This does sometimes happen with transcribing and indexing. Are they from a printed transcribed register, BTs or CD-ROM of printed registers? -- Roy Stockdill Professional genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
