Most definitely yes. I have both a birth certificate and a baptismal certificate for my grandmother but I obtained the baptismal certificate first because she was from an army family and found this easier than the birth to find. I had been told that her birthplace was Sheffield but her baptismal certificate showed Portsea so for a few years I went along with a Portsea Birth and decided my Aunt must have beeen mistaken in a Sheffield birth, but a census showed a Sheffield birth which was then that I decided I should get the Birth Certificate as well and yes sure enough she was born Sheffield but baptised Portsea a couple of weeks later because father had been posted to Portsea so yes moral of this story is get both to be sure of your facts!!
