Here is a mystery..............................

Esther Leonard christened 24 Jul 1836. St George's Bristol.
Esther Leonard christened 26 Aug 1838. St George's Bristol. FreeBMD Births Sept 1838 Leonard Esther Clifton 11 285.

Parents Elizabeth and William Leonard.

Now my first thought the first Esther must of died by 1838, but while checking on FreeBMD what do I see
Deaths Jun 1839
Leonard Esther
Clifton 11 211

Now the solution solved
The first Esther died before Sept 1837, the second dies in 1839

Now sad.
