Baptised twice ? (General)

I am in a quandary regarding my ancestor, namely Thomas Sadler of Dymock, born
1809 to Thomas & Esther (nee Russell), the record shows birthdate and baptism date.

However! the parish records of Dymock also show another Thomas (baptism only) in 1828 to the same parents, the only difference in the name being the spelling as Saddler.

There is no death/burial of a Thomas recorded that may have indicated the reason of another Thomas being born and I know the 1809 Thomas died in
1888 aged 79 at Dymock.

My first thought was perhaps he was baptised twice, but that makes no sense as
the first baptism was/is still recorded in 1809, so any guidance/suggestions from the forum members would be appreciated.

Thanks
