Thanks to you too Christine - it's just another one to add on to the already very long list that need to be looked at.

Thanks Richard, that's what I thought it might be.

Richard's explanation is the same as the one I would offer. Sometimes the date gets missed off in the register, so you can only estimate that the entries are in sequence. Christine

My guess is that the day of the week on this entry was illegible, so it's been estimated from the entries above and below it. Richard

ELIZABETH COLEY Female -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event(s): Birth: Christening: About 03 SEP 1775 Old Swinford, Worcester, England Death: Burial: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents: Father: JOSEPH COLEY Family Mother: MARY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Messages: Extracted birth or christening record for the locality listed in the record. The source records are usually arranged chronologically by the birth or christening date What does the about bit mean? It's an extracted record.. Maybe, the date has become feint on the original entry?
