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.

Mother's maiden name was Nixon, according to GRO Index search.
BARNES, JOHN (mmn:)DIXON
GRO Reference: 1851 J Quarter in MELTON MOWBRAY Volume 15 Page 231

Maybe he was not baptised - were the other children :-\
Is this the family who were at Soho Court, Melton Mowbray in 1851 - Father James occ Groom
-
Hi Rosie, thanks for that. My mistake on the fathers occupation, misread the not very clear transcript. This is the correct family.

There is also one for a Letitia in 1837 same place. Perhaps you need to be looking at Wesleyan records :-\
