BMDB data

     William Walter Bickle was born on 4 Jun 1895 Royal Oak Inn, Meavy, DEV, ENG, this being nearly a year after his named mother was buried !!2,1,3,4,5 He was baptized on 18 Jul 1895 in the Par. of Meavy, DEV, ENG; #767 shows William Walter as son of Richard Henry (publican) & Mary Louisa Bickle of The Royal Oak Inn, Meavy (margin annotation shows born Jun 4th 1895.)1
     William Walter Bickle died aft. 1911 ?Meavy, DEV, ENG.6
     Although the parish register clearly shows Walter's birth and baptism are Jun/Jul 1895, with parents Richard & Mary Louisa BICKELL, they also show that his mother died 28th Jun and was buried 1 Jul 1894.
My initial assumption was that his birth year was 1894 and he was baptized a year later.
Then that his mother's burial was misdated, given that it was one of a small number at the top of a page headed 1894, but including none for 1895, then a number of 1896 burials.
However, the birth and death registers show Mary Louisa's death registered 1894 Q2, and William's birth registered 1895 Qtr 3.5,3,1,7
