1830's London. How likely is it that some-one would be baptised twice? I have a probable ancestor baptised in 1833, with location and the birth year corresponding to consistent census entries. A second baptism is recorded with his younger brother in 1836, the year of the latter's birth, but the location no longer corresponds at all to the census entries for my guy. I know baptisms of siblings can take place together, so the year is not of great significance. So, for the first baptism: year good, parents good, location good, father's profession corresponds to elder brothers' baptism records (labourer). For the second: year could be ok, baptism with sibling, my ancestor's second given name is there, father's profession corresponds to later information (weaver). So, 2 baptisms?
