Apparently I have three cousins in a jar in a hospital in Malta

My aunts husband was stationed there and she lost triplet boys which were preserved in formalin.

The younger of my brother's baptismal certificate.
He was baptised in the Church of St Michael (now Il-Kappella tas-San Cir ) in Mqabba, Kalafrana, Malta.
It was a Catholic Church, and at the time, was in the Diocese of Gibraltar!
Strangely, if my mother admitted to any religion it was CofE, and dad was of no religion - but if he was on a boat, he was any religion the Captain wasn't - this ensured he had a lie-in on a Sunday!
Also weirdly, they had his birth date wrong - he was born on August 28th 1950.
I was born 6 years later, on the date they'd (wrongly) put as his date of birth! *spooky*

Another look at it - they had his baptismal date as December 31 1950, but the RN Chaplain has signed it, and put the date as January 1951! Too much wine?
