The second one could be as a result of a transcription error when the register entry was made at some time after the actual baptism. Baptisms and Burials in the 19th century were very rarely entered into the register at the actual time of the event. They went into a Day Book or Journal and were entered en masse at a later date. Check the 1891 census for both males (the other one should be tried first) and see who he married. Judging by FreeBMD, you've identified the right woman. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg
