This one has the words "Received by" after/ in place of " Baptised by". There may have been a prior baptism of Jessie, either private or another denomination.

Well spotted, I hadn't noticed that.

Richard Smith was baptised 26 September 1859 at St Peter, Liverpool .
On the original image every baptism (16 in total ) is on the same day by the same official.
I`ve not been able to look at the pages either side.

 Why would that be  ?

Why not?  Even these days, at my church, when there are baptisms there are usually a number at once, like 3 or 4 or 6 - not 16 thank goodness.  As they are done after Mass these days, we'd all be sitting around for a long time

It's several pages of 16 on one day and similar numbers on days before and after Dawn.
It must have been a quick splash or dip

Some city parishes covered areas with thousands of people in them.

Statistically speaking, it would be more remarkable if there were more days with none or only a couple of baptisms on.
