Is there a way to create a second membership record for a child who already has a membership record and is in one parents household? We would like to show this child on our records as well for youth involvement. We would like to keep track of a child in the second ward without causing issues?

Create an out-of-unit record. I think you'll need their MRN, but that's probably on the parent's record.

Note that the ward that has the actual record will be the one to handle temple recommends, interviews, priesthood advancement, etc.

There is only one membership record for each member. For the situation your describe there is the ability to create an out-of-unit record. This record allows the child’s name and contact information to appear on unit lists and class rolls. The ward clerk should read Notice, 1 September 2020: Membership Records for Children of Divorced Parents found in the Official Communications Library (OCL). Procedures for use of and creating out-of-unit records are available in the Help article Out-of-Unit Members and Callings
