« on: Tuesday 11 July 17 16:37 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me out with regards to finding baptism information for one JOHN BARNES who was born in Melton Mowbray during the June qtr of 1851. His father was James, Occupation, grocer and his mother Mary. Have tried many geneology sites without success.
Any help would be most welcome.

Hi Rosie, thanks for that. My mistake on the fathers occupation, misread the not very clear transcript. This is the correct family.
