   Perhaps Ellen was visiting parents or close friends at the time of birth?   
      
   The Accrington baptism may have been because Rebecca was a weak baby and   
   they wanted her baptised (Wed 15 Aug) before she died?   
      
   Then baptised again (Sun 10 not 6 Sept) when back at home with all   
   family and friends?   
      
   So I'd suspect the birth was on Fri 11 Aug and the Mon 24 July given   
   later was just due to wrongly counting back weeks. But the birth   
   certificate would, hopefully, confirm?
