Your thoughts on a record I found on rootsireland, curious... [View all]

I found a record for my 1/2 2nd great uncle's baptism in Ireland. These records are transcribed, not originals.

There is a space on the bottom of the transcription that says:

Notes:
Married to: and gives his wife's full birth name, date and location of the marriage (which was in the US).

I am happy about getting this info but it seems weird to me that his marriage info is transcribed on his baptism record. The only thing I can think of is that the person who transcribed this actually knew him and his wife (or the family) and decided to throw in some extra info.

Any other reasons that you can think of why this information is together?
