Confusing Birth Records
Hello,
I was looking over some baptismal/birth records and found some conflicting information. The first baptism is for Anna Janousek on 10 Jul 1764:
It looks as though Anna may have been born on the 9th.
The second record is from 19 Nov 1764:
In each case, the parents are Joannes and Veronica. From this information, should I anticipate that there are two couples with the same name and approximately the same age, living in Dehtáře at the same time. This seems odd because there are not many births in the village around this time. There is a gap of four years between the birth of these children and a previous child.
Thank you and have a good day.
Sincerely,
Comments

It is unlikely both children belong to the same family. Try to compare the witnesses of all children if there is some pattern. If one of these records doesn't fit, it could signal it belongs to another family.
