If there are years missing, it is usually because the parish book was lost, misplaced, possibly destroyed by nature, etc. What I have done when that happens is to look at baptisms of the other siblings' children and see if that person is listed as a godparent. Sometimes this helps to narrow

Well, if others are also seeing 1819, then maybe it was a small child being baptized a few years later. Maybe there was an outbreak of something and they didn't take the baby in after birth so they wouldn't infect everyone there (if they knew about such things then). Maybe they were in the
