Help on UK, England, Northumberland—Nonconformist Church Records, 1613–1920 [Part B] [MSPX-VD9].

This has been up for a while with no responses. I tried to open the batch but got the error message. Perhaps it has been submitted?
The field help might provide the answer though: If 2 dates were recorded, separated by a slash, index the first date as the death date.

I did submit it hoping it was correct.
The batch is in Latin, which I somewhat understand. I was not entering the first date as a death date figuring it was a final sacrament date. Then I was given an unfinished batch where some one had indexed the first date in the entry as a death date.
I have another batch:
UK, England, Northumberland—Nonconformist Church Records, 1613–1920 [Part B][MSPX-V9H]
Can you give me an idea what to do about that first date?

I reread the instructions. The first date is considered the death date.
Thank you for your help.

Yes, you did very well.
In the image how to Index Latin burial registers you can see two dates:
1. Burial Year: 1907
2. Burial Month: Dec
3. Burial Day: 20
8. Death Day: 17
9. Death Month: Dec
10. Death Year: 1907
So the first earlier date is the death date(when they died), the second date is the burial date (later date).
