Title: Bloxam - John & Martha

I am related through John & Martha's son David and have come across some very helpful and detailed information at:

http://genealogy.bloxamedia.com/bloxam/BloxamJ_1775.php

Information at this location suggests that son Philip - who according to IGI was born 2 May 1803, bap 1 Jun 1802 at Aylestone to John & Elizabeth Bloxam - is the son of this John. 

I have been unable to find
either the (1st) ? marriage of John Bloxam to Elizabeth;
nor confirming evidence to support IGI bapt of Philip
nor death/burial of (1st)? wife Elizabeth

There is also connected information on other threads
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,601051.0.html
and

Throughout census returns David states that he was born in Little Eaton, Derbyshire although I can find no baptism (around 1807) but have found at IGI baptism of Joseph on 25 Mar 1810 at St Pauls, Little Eaton to John & Martha Bloxam

There is a marriageat St Alkmund, Derby for John Bloxam & Martha Taylor, both of Little Eaton on 14 Jul 1806.

There are baptisms of John & Martha's children at Aylestone from 1812 until 1823 - those for David, Agnes and Joseph seemingly conducted (all on 23 May 1818) when the children were 11, 10 & 8 yrs old respectively - a bit surprised there might not be a vicar's note to this effect??

so, according to this information, son Phillip was baptised the year before he was born???

Shouldn't it read Born 1 Jun 1802 -baptised2 May 1803????

Apologies for error & confusion above re Philip
"Information at this location suggests that son Philip - who according to IGI was born 2 May 1803, bap 1 Jun 1802 at Aylestone to John & Elizabeth Bloxam - is the son of this John. "

CORRECTION:
It's source:  http://genealogy .bloxamedia.com/bloxam/BloxamP_1803.php
that says birth 2 May 1803 (purporting to come from John Bloxam's bible

IGI states "Birth" (not Christening) as 1 Jun 1802
