People wait to do things for a variety of reasons. This couple waited to baptize their children until the oldest one was seven years old–despite the fact that their denomination practiced infant baptism. I’m not certain of the reason. The church had a regular pastor when the children were born so there may have been another reason. Don’t assume things always happen when they “are supposed to” and don’t assume all documents “get recorded immediately.” They don’t. If you can’t find it–look in the records a little later. Someone may just have a little slower than other people.
