I see from 1851 census that John was born Beckington, Somerset - you may already have it, but John was baptised 14/5/1815 Beckington, Somerset aged 8, son of William (a tiler) and Mary.  Siblings also baptised that day are James aged 6, Thomas aged 10, Eliza aged 4 and Harriet 1/2 year (presumably 6 months?).

Earlier siblings: William bp.27/12/1795 (died?), William bp.27/11/1796, Sarah bp.19/11/1797, then 3 baptised 29/10/1804: Elizabeth, Ann and Mary Ann (no ages given).

Later sibling: Louisa bp.25/12/1817 (father shown as Plasterer)

William Deacon married Mary Burd 25/5/1795 Beckington - he's shown as a 'Tayler' but wonder if it should have 'Tiler' (misheard).
