John Halliwell Fletcher was baptised on the 11th of April 1819 at barnsley St Mary's but it is also showing a John Richard Fletcher parents Thomas & Mary on the same date 11th of April 1819 could they have been twins or just a mistake

It's a transcribing error there is only one Fletcher baptised that day and it's John Halliwell

Sorry I don't really have any information on Thomas Fletcher, but I did find your question when Googling "Tobias Fletcher - Barnsley". I was looking for information on the name inscribed on the face of an old long case grandfather clock I purchased in Wayland, Massachusetts in 1994. I wish I could give you more information than just another name to consider, but maybe Tobias was one of Thomas' clock-making sons. Good luck from here in Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
