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 . . .
