How about this case:

----------------------
Children of George1 Bezanson and Mary Millet all born at Chester, Nova
Scotia, were as follows:
2i.Eunice Whitcomb2 Bezanson; baptized;6 Eunice Whitcomb married Henry
Cross; died 1873.3
3ii.Sarah Elizabeth Etter Bezanson; born 22 Jan 1808;3,6 Sarah Elizabeth
Etter, age 20 married David Crandle Vaughan, age 23, son of Benjamin Vaughan
and Sarah Ellis, 9 Sep 1828;7 died before 1864.3

...
----------------------

As you can see, Eunice's primary birth tag is a baptism, not a birth. So the
past tense verb associated with the tag carries information.

P.S. If anyone happens to be familiar with this data, I have the proper
info; I mucked it around to make the example.
