Why would anyone be bapised twice (General)
Another possibility is due to the Poor Laws. Everyone had to 'belong' to an original parish. If a family moved due to search for work and got 'accepted' in a new parish, children baptized in the old parish might be re-baptized in the new parish to legalize their new domicile. I noticed this a few times during my FH researches.
