that's what I guessed might have been your reasoning there, just wanted to make sure.
but given the variations in ages at baptism - how does one make that decision of how much time to deduct from a baptism date? I'm not fond of having a specific date for baptism (12 Aug 1776) and having a before date for birth (before 12 aug 1776) because then it shows up in the children's listing as (bef 1776) - if I just have the baptism date it has a clear date there (1776) and I know that I have that detail as accurate as I can get it. Before implies I still have more research to do to locate the date - 1776 England, I'd be very very surprised to find any precise birth date. Death & burial is different of course - burial date of 12 jan 1789 means a death date of about 11 jan 1789 - they arent going to have died in August of 1788 to be buried in jan 1789 are they....
