I'm having a look at the LMA records and something is strange.
I have 2 children Nora Irene Featherstone born 1899 and Cyril 1903 according to FreeBMD.
According to the LMA baptisms Cyril was baptised in 1903 which makes sense. Nora however wasn't baptised until 1906.
What I don't understand is why Nora (Norah on LMA) wasn't baptised when Cyril was. I can't find any deaths to say that the LMA Norah was the second child of that name.
Edit: I've just had a look at the image for Cyril and it states his was a private baptism.
Does that mean it looked as though Cyril wasn't going survive and was baptised asap and Norah was done when they got around to it?
