Frederick Warren when he died, was recorded born 31 Jan 1906
Frederick Warren when baptised, was recorded born 31 Jan 1906
Frederick on unsighted birth certificate, was recorded born 21 Jan 1906.
To my thinking, there is a date recorded incorrectly or remembered incorrectly.

There is surely something a-miss with the document being called Frederick’s “birth registration.”
We really need to know more about it.
I wonder if it could be scanned and posted.
The questions in reply #14 by mckha489 need to be answered.

A summary

-   Arthur Batchelder died Cape Town 29 Jan 1922, age 67
-   Catherine Bloomstein-Batchelder-Bridges died Jo-burg 11 Nov 1923, age 56

Children of Arthur BATCHELDER and Catherine BLOMSTEIN

•   Alpha Arthur BATCHELDER born 1885 (no baptism record found) – married 1904 Cape Town to Keturah Elizabeth FOX (on marriage his mother is named Catherine Bridges)
•   Sydney Warren BATCHELDER born 20 Aug 1887 Cape Town (yes, bapt record) address Vandelein St
•   Catherine Naomi BATCHELDER bapt 22 Oct 1890 Cape Town (yes, bapt record) address Mowbray
•   Harold Asher BATCHELDER born 1893 (no baptism record found) – married 1921 Jo-Burg to Violet Kathleen BOYETT

•   Edward James BATCHELDER born 5 July 1902 (no baptism record found, name of mother unknown) – married 1939 Cape Town to Ruth Elizabeth TRAUTMANN / DOWLING

Children of Arthur Batchelder and Sophia Margaret SURNAME UNKNOWN 17 Wicht St

•   Elizabeth Naomi Batchelder (mixed race) born 17 May 1903, bapt in 1922 ; died 1922.
•   Frederick Warren Batchelder born 31 Jan 1906, bapt in 1922 – married 1940 to Christina Johanna Petronella CONRADIE

This appears to be the correct family, but at some point there has been confusion with another family called BATCHELOR possibly resulting in an error in records.
This theory has been outlined by mckha489.
We await information and answers about the birth registration of Frederick Warren BATCHELDER
