James Child, William Child of Kintbury, Berkshire, help please .

[Ffrith]

I am stuck for parish records for Kintbury, Berkshire, the church is not shown on freeRegsearch. I have found that my G/G/Grandfather James Child was baptized at Kintbury on 01 March 1818, his father was William Child and his mother was Maria. He married Elizabeth Kent on 25 July 1853 in Marylebone, London his father was shown as William Child from Kintbury. I have William married to Maria Annetts on 12 May 1811 at St Marylebone, but I might be wrong. I only have William and Maria with one child James, any other baptisms for children of William and Maria at Kintbury might steer me in the right direction, any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance, CR

These are the children to William & Maria:
Charles b.11/11/1815/St. James/add: Thames St.Occ: Waiter
Thomas b. 8/6/1819/St. Marylebone
Sarah b. 4/12/1822/do
John b. 9/9/1825/do/occ: Servant
This is the family minus parents all together with James ( plasterer ) in 1851:
Don't you just love it when they do that.
You'll notice there's also an older sister Mary b. c. 1812 Berks.
HO107; Piece: 1466; Folio: 65;Page: 30
Go forward a page for the others.
BTW Mary & Sarah never married. On later censuses Mary gives her birthplace as Kintbury Berks.
I also notice on the Banns & marriage William says he's from Wheathamstead Herts.
