    Notes 
    • There was a John Joseph Kirby born July 7, 1879 and baptized July 11, 1879 parents John Kirby and JOHANNA Fahey.

      Could this entry be this John Joseph? Maybe Johanna could have been mistaken for Jane? Also these records are transcripts with many illegible entries in the original so it's possible there were errors in transcription as well.
