   (No, I've not seen it.)   
      
   Was it clear whether the child was "admitted" (presumably into the   
   church) on a later date (even if not stated, compare dates of preceding   
   and following entries) than the date of the private baptism?   
      
   Not that either yes or no to that will tell _me_ anything; just curious.
