General

Sometimes births are recorded as happening after the baptism, either by mistake or to avoid fines for late registration.

In those cases births should be estimated to have occurred up to a week before the baptism, as most baptisms happened within days of the birth.

Narrative

The information I have from Mary Looby is that James Conway married a woman whose surname was O'Brien, and they had two children, Augusta and John.

The 1910 and 1920 U.S. censuses both have a family with James and Bridget Conway as parents and Augusta and John as the only children. It seems likely that those records correspond to the people in this family tree. Note that in the 1910 census James Conway is recorded as having been born in New York of Irish parents, but his record from the 1920 census shows that he was born in Ireland. Given that the other details, comparing 1910 with 1920, are consistent (or as consistent as can be expected) it looks like a mistake was made in the 1910 census regarding James' place of birth.

Narrative

In the 1900 U.S. census there is a record of a James and Bridget Conway at 85 Nostrand Ave. Their ages, immigration dates and marriage dates are consistent with the same information found in the 1910 and 1920 censuses for the James Conway and Bridget O'Brien in this family tree. Additionally there are three people with the surname O'Brien who are boarders in the Conway household in 1900. Those O'Briens could be relatives of Bridget O'Brien.

The evidence isn't conclusive, but this could be the census record for the James Conway and Bridget O'Brien in this family tree.
