Find Ancestors

Hi to all
I would value someone else's opinion on the following:
I have a birth cert for a Joseph Jenkins born 8 May 1889 in Bond Street Liverpool - parents James and Elizabeth (nee Carroll). The birth was registered 4 June 1889

The Baptism register says born 15 May 1889 and baptised 15 May 1889 with a father James and mother Elizabeth, same address as the birth shows.
Do you think this was just an error made by the Church or am I looking too deep into this?

2 of the other children I have found that they had were baptised between 1 and 2 months later
Thanks
Carol

Just a mistake on the baptism register?

Thanks Margee - this is such a difficult family to trace - I cannot even find some of their children ever being born

If the family were catholics, it was normal then for the child to be baptised within 48 hours & the mother didn´t attend the service.
Maybe with the other children, they weren´t quite so eager, or possibly the child in question wasn´t expected to survive.

Thanks wisechild as far as I know they were CofE, and all the bapts record I have found relate to CofE Churches, but one of there sons married a catholic girl - that is what I have been told
Regards

May have been a "mixed " marriage. Elizabeth´s surname is Carroll, which is of Irish origin.
My great grandparents were "mixed" & the story goes that when my grandfather was born, my g grandmother rushed him off to the priest & had him baptised into the Catholic church before he was 48 hours old.
He was never a practising Catholic & for the rest of his life was staunch Cof E. Don´t know about his 11 siblings, nor the truth of the story, as have never found baptisms for any of them.
Good luck.

Thanks for that - religion not a strong point causes too much trouble
