My gut feel these are baptized dates and not birth. The children were all all born in different years and then baptized together.

Very interesting Margaret. 

I notice the quads only have one name (no middle name), so I wonder if they were stillborn and named but never Christened? 

I found a record for triplets once . . . I can't remember if they survived . . . probably not. 

My mother-in-law told me about her twin cousins born in early 1900s in England. 

They survived without incubators, and her story was they were put in - I think — shoe boxes with cotton wool and kept warm by the stove. 

That was about the best technology available for preemies at the time I guess . . .
