we at work discussed this today ourselves we cannot believe the church would allow someone to baptise the same child with 2 names i have no doubt sarah cotton is sarah bagnall ann bagnall born marchington is her mother and the ages are correct there is no record of a marrage between a bagnall and a cotton anywhere the other problem is where is clara bagnall on the 1861 census, she is nowhere to be found even if born out of wedlock she should be with her mother or grandparents or family that said i think she has taken the name clara bird after sarahs marrage to george bird she is older on the 1871 census than the marrage date so her age fits will keep looking
