How's your Latin? (Catholic baptism, 1866)

[Miss Trees]

Wondering if some smart people can help decipher Latin from the attached record (bits in question are highlighted) from a register of baptisms in 1866?
Thank you!

Page 1 - baptism of Joseph Henry (Henricus) Wilson - Birth Month column. Just occurred to me it looks like "annos natus" - could be he was 18 years old? (All others show birth dates in December of that year).

Page 2 - Same baptism. What is the comment in the last column? Something to do with converting perhaps? (His parents had previously baptised their children in Church of Ireland)

PS - seem to be having difficulty attaching multiple attachments so I will try attaching them individually in following posts

Hmmm -

The upload feature is broken.  It keeps telling me I already have a file by the same name even though I'm only trying to upload one file. *

I have put the images here instead:

Hi Miss Trees,

I agree with your idea that he was 18 years old. Can you confirm that is about right with a birth record, death record, census, etc.?

I think the final column just says "nuper ad fidem convertus" which means he was recently converted to the faith.

Many thanks!

I'm just now trying to track him down further after realising there may be another baptism for him in 1848. His parents had children (so far) from 1849 through to 1871!

I thought perhaps he converted for marriage but have yet to find any certain marriage for him after 1866. There is one Catholic Joseph in Dublin the 1901 census about the right age, but again inconclusive.

I'll keep looking!

18 annos natus means 18 years old

ad fidem conversus means converted to the faith

Many thanks for this!
