John Dixon and Sarah Kerfoot marry 28 Feb 1865 at St Mary's in Lymm
Harry baptised 3 5 1867 at St Mary The Virgin, Lymm
Frank baptised 6 9 1868 at St Mary the virgin in Lymm
In both cases the parents are shown as Robert and Ellen Dixon which are John Dixon's parents. Ellen was born in 1824 so would have been 43 and 44 when the children were born.
The children were brought up by John and Sarah but I wonder if it is allowed for grandparents to baptise a child...
Buying the certs may give the answer but there are other certificates that I would buy in preference.
