For the Gibraltar—Civil Records, 1848–1990, I'm not sure if the month or day is written first?

On one of the birth record notecards from the Gibraltar—Civil Records, 1848–1990, the birth day says 8-12-1858. Would that be December 8th?

    I know nothing about Gibraltar records, nor indexing, but suggest you use the standard tactic of looking at other entries in that lot until you find entries that are possible in one way but impossible in the other.

    Congratulations for having thought about it!

    • The Project Instructions say, "Dates were typically written in a day, month, year format." I've done a lot of these and that seems to be the usual format.
