  General Notes:

It seems that this male child was registered first as Anthony, then baptised as Joseph :

"Anthony McConwell Scotland Births and Baptisms, 1564-1950

from CPR Births and Baptisms

Note: At first glance the name Josephina appears to be a female name but the record clearly states the child was male. Could it be that the name was Joseph Anthony, and that some of the name was miread or miscopied?
