The baptismal record is the most contemporary, recorded two days after her birth, and is therefore considered the most reliable. Furthermore, there is a pattern with the Cahill children; birth's registered by the father are consistently not in agreement with the baptismal records. This is not the case when the mother registered the births. Hence, the baptismal records appear to be definitive.)
