MESSENGER Market Bosworth - baptism look-ups please

[SC]

Baptism records look-ups for Market Bosworth needed please to fill in some missing info
I am trying to piece together a Messenger family in Market Bosworth
Who are the parents of these three siblings??
Michael Messenger b abt 1830 Market Bosworth and his sisters Mary about 1832, and Elizabeth about 1835
(there is another Michael Messenger b about same time in Ratcliffe-on-the-Wreake - not mine)
I have followed Michael in the census from 1841 to 1861. They are all living with an uncle James and aunt Mary in 1841 and possibly his grandfather Joseph, 1851 with James and Mary, Joseph had died and in 1861 with James - no parents in sight
I know James is the uncle as Michael is listed as a nephew on one census
Michael marries in 1862 in Leicester to Sarah Alice Osborne and a parish record look-up for that event would be appreciated before I order the cert to ascertain if this is the correct Sarah Alice
christenings for some of their children list mother as Sarah Anne so some confusion there

any help would be much appreciated
thanks SC

Familysearch has;

MICHAEL Messenger Buried 09 July 1834, Market-Bosworth, Leicester, no age given.

Marriage of a Michael MESSENGER to Mary BARWELL, 4 January 1827, Saint Mary, Leicester

A MICHAEL Messenger was Christened 9 July 1797, Market-Bosworth to JOSEPH/ELIZABETH
(I have to check if he had a Brother James c 1806 yet)
EDIT can only find these 1 extra Child to Joseph/Elizabeth;
MARY, 25 Aug 1799

Joseph MESSENGER Married Elizabeth ISON,    4 April 1796, Swepstone,Leicester,England
(may be a second Marriage)

ELIZABETH Messenger, Wife of JOSEPH was Buried Mkt Bos, 04 Oct 1826

1851 Census James Messenger 1806, Unmarried, has his SISTER IN LAW MARY Messenger a Widow born c 1795, with him.
Children are down as his Neices/Nephew

I think that that Mary is their Mother nee Barwell.

1861 Census James Messenger is Unmarried also.

Hopefully someone can confirm Childrens Christenings with what I have found

Hi Trish

well done finding all that info
sounds like you have pieced a lot of this together very well
looks like the parents of Michael, Mary and Elizabeth then could well be Michael and Mary m 1827
Michael died and she took children to live with James

I must admit I had missed the fact that James was unmarried and that Mary was his sister -in-law
I was working from a very faint copy of the census

if someone could maybe find christenings for the 3 children it would clinch things
and also a christening for a James around 1804 to Joseph/Elizabeth

thanks so much

Thank you willsy, that's a big help and much appreciated
I only had some of the baptisms for Michael and Sarah's children and as you see there are differences in the mother's name so that is great clarification that its one and the same person as occupation is the same each time too
lost three girls and then Florence who died later in 1882
Osborn James gets married in 1900 to Rosa Hextall and a Hextall family are neighbours to James in one of the censuses so she may be a descendant of them

It looks like Mary Messenger nee Barwell appears to have died in Sep Qtr 1859 in Market Bosworth did you see a burial entry for her by any chance?
