Hi I also have a baptism that takes place twice... The reason I think behind the second baptism was that the parents had lost a child.. The said child was baptised alongside all the other children.. and the same day as the little Brother's funeral.. Parents mourning the loss of the child had probably not even thought about it.. Four children were all baptised that day.. The child who died was buried that same day.. and baptised the day before.. Mo |

My first thought would be that first baptised William died and 2nd one is his brother. This happened a lot, I have instances of it on both sides of my family. Confusing! nell |

Did the first William die and the parents went on to have another boy called the same name? This wasn't unusual. |

How strange Jeanne, the only thing that I can think of is that they changed religion and had him baptised in the new faith....bit of a puzzle eh?!! Fuzzy x |

Are you sure the parents are the same couple and the bps are not just two separate events for different members of the same extended family - e.g cousins,or father & son? Jay |

I have William Gritton born 9 Jul 1822 baptised on 5 Aug 1822 at St Leonards, Shoreditch - then again on 30 Nov 1828 at St George's Camberwell. Was this unusual,, and why? Thank you |
