Do you have an address?,mostly baptisms took place in the nearby parish church but if parents had moved areas they might go back or use the nearby church in their new area.
I am assuming they were Cof E baptisms?
Failing that try bringing up Pontefract Churches and see if  records are available.
Viktoria,
