you always have to take what you get on the IGI with a pinch of salt, though I think it is a good chance he is your man.
If you type in the parents name you should get a list of 12 entries(8 children)
Kind regards,Billy.
ps he married Jane Callard at saint Mary,s Portsea so I recon this is him.
pps, It was normal for the child to be christened within 4 weeks of birth so you can work out the d.o.b around 4 weeks before christening.
Just a couple of comments......
1. IGI extracted records are usually extremely accurate, because they are transcribed from parish records. IGI submitted records can be extremely variable in their accuracy, anything from total accuracy to sheer flights of fancy.
2. Although it was normal for christenings to take place between 2 and 4 weeks after birth, this also cannot be taken for granted, because some people were christened many years after their birth.
As with everything in this game, you have to compare the records from as many sources as you can, and work out the truth if you can.

Or in the case of my family many were christened years after their birth or in some cases not at all!
