I started scanning the births that year, on the assumption that he had got the wrong date in the household records.

I scanned them from the back, because it was more likely that the notice would be later -- both because of biology (it had to be 9 months or more after Carl Eriks birth), and practical (if that is the word): if the priest was trying to correct a missed note in the book, he would not cram it in at the beginning, he would either do it in the proper place, or at the (at the time current) end.

As it turns out it was a correction ... and if you look carefully at the page where the notice "should"* be, at the bottom left of the picture, under #70 Fredrik, the priest has pencilled in a pointer to Carl Johan: "vide 122" -- 122 being the number of CJs birth notice.

We don't really know how this priest handled the job of book-keeping -- but a fairly normal practice, even today, is to jot down a note on a scrap of paper, and then later -- sometimes much later -- transcribe these in the right form and place ... Maybe that note got lost in June, and then was rediscovered in October?
