Family History Beginners Board / Christened twice in two churches
« on: Saturday 27 October 18 15:44 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I have found 2 entries on family Search for the baptism of an ancestor, both in 1820 in Chesterfield in Derbyshire.Chesterfield
He was born on 5 Feb 1820 and baptised into the Chesterfield Weslyan Chapel on 20th Feb.
Then, on  23 Apr 1820. he was baptised again in St. Mary &  All Saints, Chesterfield.
he has an unusual name, as does his father and these two, with the same mother, are on both entries so they have to be the same child ?

Any thoughts as to why, would be appreciated.
Thanks

Cheshire Lookup Requests / James Bailey born Stockport 1821
« on: Friday 19 May 17 16:31 BST (UK)  »
Hi.
I am trying to find my 3x Great Grandfather James Bailey. Censuses 1861--1881 show him as born 1821 in Stockport but I can't find him on the 1841, in that town. I think there is a mistake on the 1851 as he is shown as being 28 but now living in Lees Saddleworth with wife Matty

He married Martha (Matty) Shaw  12 May 1844 at Ashton under Lyne Parish Church - St Michael's but on the marriage certificate there is no name in the space for Father and his mother Mary is shown as Spinster so James must have beem iillegitimate.
I don't know how to find his birth/baptism date and I have no father to find so is this a dead end ?

Thanks in advance for any advice
