The time is always written on a Scottish birth cert,but usually only on an English or Welsh one in the case of twins.

I wonder if the information was originally recorded in a family bible?
I have seen one of these with dates and times and sometimes a comment in my husband's family.

Yes, I've seen similar information from a family Bible - times of both birth and death recorded, as well as causes of death. (None of mine were Baptists, for what that's worth!).

For what it is worth I have just checked some transcriptions of non-conformist records for that period, taken from the entries at Dr William's Library and while they were not all Baptists, they all contained a date of birth but no time of birth.

I have done some research on a Quaker family and there was a list of names from about the same time which had details of times of births (and elsewhere, deaths) so I wonder if it may have been a Society of Friends tradition to record the time.
They seemed to like the minutiae of family events, for example on a Quaker marriage certificate I studied it showed every single person who had attended the wedding, so a time would seem to have quite normal to record.
This family have Quaker birth certificates going back to 1777 without times on them but maybe the later ones were more accurate.

I have copies from six of my American forebears family bibles dating from 1767. The exact time, day and date of birth is given in each bible.
However, when I obtained a post civil registration birth certificate for one of my grt, grandfathers born in West Derby in 1844, it also had the time, day and date of birth recorded

The clocks went back during labour and we lost track. So when she wanted to to have her stars read, or whatever it is, needing place and exact time of birth she was out of luck.
Oh happy days.
