For “Born” ABT 1868 of Charles William Cooling

Charles Willie COOLING, births registered June quarter 1868, Sleaford registration district, volume 7a page 443

He was christened at Wellingore, Lincolnshire on 19 JUL 1868, so a birth of ABT 1869 is impossible; the estimate is moved to ABT 1868. This June-quarter 1868 Lincolnshire registration is the likely entry, but quality 1: a second Charles William Cooling was registered the same quarter at Shoreditch, and Wellingore sits on the Lincoln/Sleaford district boundary. Queensland relevance: he married there in 1891 and died there in 1931.
