I have a baptism for James Horatio Budds in Great Yarmouth, Suffolk, on 30 December 1830, son of William, a sail maker, and his wife Thomasin. William and Thomasin had twelve children between 1814 and 1834, all baptised in the same church although the six oldest were also baptised at the local Wesleyan Chapel in 1842. Three of the children, Frederick Charles Budds, James Horatio Budds and Ellen Eliza Budds were also apparently baptised in Earsdon near North Shields - all on the same day that they were baptised in Yarmouth. I have seen the original baptism entries for Yarmouth but the Earsdon ones are only transcripts (on both major genealogical websites). Even today you'd hardly make the trip in time for two baptisms. What's going on here, do you think?
