Duplicate baptism records (General)
Another explanation for the duplicate records may be that the Bream registers were occasionally taken to Newland. I found the following three such references as I transcribed the Bream baptisms:
Dec 1813 "Registers taken to Newland"
After an Apr 1822 baptism, there was not another Bream baptism until Nov 1825 with the explanation given as, "The Church was slated for repairs, and not re-opened late 1825 - during which period the Registers will probably be found at Parkend or Newland."
Oct 1828 "The Registers taken to Newland"
