I have been reading the parish records on FDFH. It appears that my Gt Grandmother was baptised twice.

Bapt - 29.8. 1844. Newnham
Harriet Morris.

Father Joseph Morris Shoemaker
Mother Ann
Minister J. Beale.

and again

Bapt- 16.1.1848 Newnham
Harriet Born 9.1.1844
Father Joseph Cordwainer
Mother Ann
Minister EC Brice.

also on the same day John Morris Born 6.9.1845
Father & Mother as above.

Can anyone shed any light on this ? Harriet's birth certificate, gives her DOB 8.1.1844. Any info or ideas very welcome.

Regards

Barbara

The same kind of question has been asked many times in the forum previously.

If you enter "Baptised twice" or similar words in the forum search box you will find the postings.
