Hello Graham, Although not non-conformist, my grandfather's sister, Rachel BROWN was christened twice. In the Parish Register of St Peter's, Liverpool, I found: -1871: baptised 1 Oct, born 17 April; Rachel, daughter of William Jackson and Mary BROWN, waterman, Birkenhead Not long after, a friend found another baptism for the same child at St Anne's, Birkenhead: -1871: Rachel, daughter of William Jackson and Mary BROWN, flatman, Flamank Street, Birkenhead, bapt 27 Aug I agree that it's unusual, but would anyone know if there was some reason why this would happen in Anglican churches?
