Two (different) christening records for the same person in Macclesfield?

[christine56]

The IGI records two christenings for Frances Ann Horobin
daughter of David and Mary Ellen Horobin (née Barber) as follows:

Cheshire Parish Registers, 1538-2000
christened 07 June 1874
at St Michael, Macclesfield, Cheshire,
parents: David Horobin, Mary Ellen Horobin

Frances Ann Horoibon
England, Cheshire Non-conformist Records, 1671-1900   
birth: 29 April 1874   
baptism: 06 May 1874 at Church Street West Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, Macclesfield, Cheshire
parents: David Horoibon, Mary Ellen Horoibon

Despite slightly different spelling of surname (Horobin / Horoibon), I suspect they are the same person. Can anyone enlighten me as to the possible reasons for two christenings?

Thank you.

Hi

I notice that one was a Methodist Chapel and the other C of E. I wonder if her parents were different religions and that was the reason? It does look like the same person, bit of a coincidence otherwise with an unusual name.

Francis Ann was definitely David Horobin's daughter - born just after he died.
So far, all "Macclesfield" Horobins were christened CofE at St. Michael's.

Mary Ellen was christened at St. Michael's.
David and Mary Ellen got married in Prestbury (also Anglican). 
Her second marriage (to John Hadfield) was at St. Michael's.
Francis Ann kept the surname Horobin until she married Samuel Hill - yes you guessed – at St. Michael's.

Hmmm... a bit of a mystery.
Does anyone know anything about the methodists or non-conformists in the region?

Thanks
Christine

FindMyPast has the images relating to these baptisms if you've access 

[groom]

Same date of birth on both - 29th April, so has to be the same child. Father was a booking clerk and they lived at 46 Chester Road.

mshrmh, nope, I don't have FindMyPast so can't look. Does the image give any other information? It is unusual that she should be christened twice, isn't it? Maybe because her father had died just before she was born? Who knows...

Groom, Chester Road Macclesfield? That could fit - in 1861 David is living with his widowed father and siblings at 62 Chester Road. They were silk dyers and the family had a silk dying place at 130 Chester Road. In the 1871 census, David is a silk ??marciuous / marconous ?? man. Unfortunately, I can't decipher the writing or even think what it might mean.

hi i have seen 'doublings' on the IGI but this one you have is very different to the ones i have seen in the past.

if you can nip onto ancestry at the library perhaps and e mail yourself from yourself to yourself copies to have a more detailed look ?
