Help to decipher baptism please
« on: Thursday 15 March 12 19:33 GMT (UK) »
Hi all

I would appreciate help deciphering the attached.

While I can understand most of it, I am not quite sure of the date of birth/baptism or the notes in the margin.

Thanks

natal is to do with birth and so that nata i think means born on the 4th and baptized on the 8th.  Not sure if june or july 1903i would tend to think july.

Hello -

The note in the margin would appear to read "William H Quigley in the church of St patrick, Belfast, 2nd July, 1928."

craggagh.

I've been beaten to it, but agree with what's been said:

Born 4 July 1903, Baptised 8 July 1903.

I don't have any direct personal experience of RC registers, but one thing I've learned is that there's often a note against a baptism entry giving details of a marriage. In this case the word "marriage" is missing, but since they used a fairly standard form of words, that bit might be at the top of the page so as to refer to all entries.

What is shown here reads:
"with William H Quigley in St Patrick's Church, Belfast, 2nd July 1928"
