I've just come across what seems to me a rather odd entry in a Baptism >Register.
Mary Ann Smith was privately baptized in the parish of Broad Blunsdon, >Wiltshire on 23 November 1840. Under the usual details of parents etc.
is written "Admitted Febry 26th 1841" which is not unusual, except that >underneath the word "Admitted" is the word "dead".
Has anyone seen this before?

According to what I can find online
A child was privately baptized if he/she was too weak to be baptized at Sunday service. Perhaps a few weeks later the child had thrived and
could then be taken to the Sunday service and was fully admitted into
the Church.
