John WATKINS two baptisms recorded 1810 and 1813 (General)

On your web site you are showing the 20 Apr 1810 Upton Bishop Baptism for John Watkins, parents James Watkins & Sarah.

I cannot find a burial between 1810 & 1813 that is appropriate.

Have you inadvertently been searching the burials instead of baptisms?

There are two baptism entries in the Upton Bishop Registers for John WATKINS, one in 1810 and the other 1813. Both are correctly transcribed as I have viewed the photo images taken of the Parish Registers.

Possibly the reason for the two entries is that the 1810 baptism of John was a private baptism as you will notice there is no ministers name recorded.

On the same day of the 1813 entry of the baptism of John his sister Elizabeth was also baptised. This is why I believe the first baptism of John was private and then at the baptism of Elizabeth it was decided that John was also officially baptised in the church at the same time.
