*As is often the case, the date recorded for the birth is later than the baptism and, therefore, obviously incorrect. John’s father may have feared that he was late in reporting the birth and therefore given a more recent date. However, January 12th would have been within the 43 days allowed at the time for reporting a birth which took place on December 27th.
