Pontefract & Knottingley

[Ibbo2000]

Hi,

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious , just looking for a William Thompson baptism in the mid 1700's, William son of Henry (Henry of Knottingley - from Williams marriage).

Whilst browsing Ancestry's West Yorkshire parish record images I have found a baptism for William Thompson son of Henry on 10/5/1750 at Pontefract St Giles & St Mary, Henry recorded as from Knott.
Also on the same day 10/5/1750 at St Botolphs Knottingley there is a baptism for William Thompson son of Henry.

Would they be the same person having 2 baptisms on the same day or is there another reason?
I also think there are another two children of Henry Thompson recorded similarly at both churches, although I think Ancestry have them transcribed wrongly, errors with names and dates.

Many thanks & hope it makes sense.
Kev.

Knottingley is part of the parish of Pontefract, therefore I would suggest that the two entries refer to the same baptism.  I may be wrong

Thanks for the reply, thought they must be for the same baptism, just thought it was a little strange baptisms for other siblings are not recorded in both parish registers, only the three I think I have found.

Many thanks

I have something similar - same ancestor baptised on exactly the same day with same father  in  St Botolph's Knottingley (they lived in Knottingley) and the other  at St Giles & St Mary's church, Pontefract.

(Richard Farnill  - baptised 1768 son of Paul Farnill.)
