Baptised twice ? (General)

Thank you to slowhands - pclark - janfran for your replies.

Yes I can see the point if a child is in danger of not surviving after
birth and a quick or private baptism is conducted, but in the case of
my ancestor he was first baptised 14 days after birth in 1809 and the
next baptism was 18 years later?.

I also considered the possibility of a transcription error but the IGI
also have transcribed the same records, so maybe I have to record both
baptisms for this person and leave it at that!.

Thanks again to you all for the input.
