Although Quinlan was baptised on 12 July 1868, his birthdate on the civil record is incorrectly show as 29th of October. This may have been because there was a 42 day deadline for registering a birth. Quinlan’s mother would have been in breach of this rule by the 9th of November. Giving a later date for the birth avoided this problem.
