The NSW baptisms do not list place of birth. This is one example of several I have in my tree where the birth is in England.

Errors in ACI with the name as Bloomfield.

William Bensley born 2 June 1845, baptised 20 July 1845 parents William and Frances. Aylsham Circuit Primitive Methodist. Residence Little Fransham.

Also baptised to William and Frances is James, born 19 July 1842 and baptised 28 July 1842, also Primitive Methodist

Burials Little Fransham
James Bensley buried 26 July 1845 aged 3
William Bensley buried 8 August 1845 agd 9 months (I think this should say 9 weeks)

The William Bensley buried Swaffham 13 October 1845 aged 10 weeks is the son of William Bensley and Anna Maria nee Lake, who was born Swaffham 1st August 1845, baptised 11 September 1845.

William and Frances, parents of the William born June 1845 also went on to have two children, James and Julia, baptised in Great Fransham 22 March 1852 so are you sure that you have the correct famiy?

So the baptism correct and the death and burial wrong.
