I have one of these repeat baptisms and in my case I think the reason may be written in the margin but I cannot read what it says. If anyone would like to be a kind soul and look at the entry I would appreciate it. In the Jarrow St. Paul baptism registry is a baptism for Mary Barnfather daughter of Nicholas and Isabella baptised first on 11 Nov 1826. There is a note in the margin and a reference to another entry number in the registry. When you go to that one for 27 May 1827 you find a note there and referred to the previous 11 Nov 1826 entry. I am dealing with microfilm here and maybe the actual entry is legible I don't know but that is a moot point as one cannot get the actual register I don't think. The child is later buried 30 April 1828 at 18 mo old. My gr gr grandmother is the next child baptised 1830 and named Mary also. The note may say "see also" I don't know but I am 99% sure it is the same child. Janis
