Okay I'm getting confused haha.  You guys are pros at this and I'm trying to understand.  Could it be, from what I am reading above that my Zachariah's Father was John Connell but that on another piece of information, the same person is called Joannis?  In which case Zachariah could also be Zacharius?  Are these the same people?

The christenings posted in Felton of Zacharius and possible siblings were from the St Marys Felton Park Roman Catholic Register of Births.  Roman Catholic christenings often used latin versions of first names so Mary became Mariae, John  became Joannis and Jacob became Jacobes etc.  Zachariah/ Zacharius would be the same person.

In addition, as Michael mentioned, many people did not read or write so spelling of names could vary with the person who registered them.

Yes I agree Latin was used by Catholics quite often.
