Pedro,

According to Gregory Tillett, the Anglican 
diocesan records show that "the Charles Webster 
Leadbeater who was ordained as an Anglican
priest by the Bishop of Winchester on St 
Thomas¹ Day, 1879,(and who was the nephew of 
William Wolfe Capes) gave as his birth date 
the one shown on the birth certificate 
available from the General Register Office 
in London: February 16, 1854."

In one of your recent emails, you write:

"I know a number of cases of people in Brazil, 
for example, who had their births registered 
much after the actual date of birth.
Apparently, this happens in other countries 
in the world as well."

I assume (I could be wrong) that the above 
statement of yours is your "argument" for somehow
casting doubt on the reliability of the Feb. 
16, 1854 date.

But how do you explain the fact that
Mr. Leadbeater gave the SAME Feb. 16, 1854 date for
his birth in the Anglican diocesan records?
