I actually have two baptism for one child

I have found two baptisms one in St Leonards and one in St Michaels and All Angels both in Shoreditch. Same child, same birthdate, same parents, probably a few days or weeks apart.

Both in 1863 when the child was born and both Private Baptisms, he died that same year and his mother did too.

Do you think the father was trying to ask God for help, its so sad because maybe the baby and his wife were so ill and he was desperate.

ooh I just had a thought, having read something the other day, do you think that was probably their (mother and child) funeral and they baptised the child again?
