Hi Joan, Yes, there are instances of children being baptised twice. Most probably because, as far as the Church of England was concerned, the first baptism was not lawful, or "all things were not done, as they ought to be" Or the Parish Priest was deliberately kept in ignorance of the first one. Was this at the same church with the same incumbent? If the parents are so minded they could get their children baptised as often as they like. Stan
