The entry is confusing

UK, England, Northumberland—Nonconformist Church Records, 1613–1920 [Part B][MSPF-N2B]

The 1st entry on the 2nd image looks like it has conflicting information.

The child is baptized 16 Sep 1916. At the bottom of the entry there's a sentence with the word mortis dated 18 Oct 1916. But then there's a confirmation date of 1942 in the left column.

Could someone help me understand this?

Thanks is advance,

Jane

    Hello Jane,

    It won't let me open the batch for some reason, but I suspect the message is similar to the one we discussed earlier. If the message mentions something like "periculum - or peri - mortis" it means the child was at risk of death and was baptised at home probably, and was then brought to church on 18th October. So he/she didn't die and went on to live long enough to at least be confirmed in 1942.

    As I said, I can't see the record, so can't be sure, but I think that's what it's likely to be.
