I am trying to find the birth of John Oakes in 1828 from the Darnhall/Wettenhall area. Although I am following my maternal line, I would like more information than a date from their marriage: Can anyone help?
04 Oct 1849 . Buglawton, Cheshire . Congleton 19 95
John Oakes . Jane Oakley
Father's Name: Richard Oakes
GS Film: 2149024 . Digital Folder: 004019106 . Image: 00881
Intended Marriage: 01 Oct 1849
John Oakes . Age: 21 . Jane Oakley . Age: 19
John Oakes of Darnhall in the Parish of Whitegate in the County of Chester
Farmer . Twenty One Years . Batchelor
Jane Oakley of the District of Buglawton in the County of Chester aforesaid
Nineteen Years . Spinster
Parochial Chapel of the District of Buglawton
And he further made the Oath that the said Jane Oakley hath no father living or Guardian of her person appointed by the Court of Chancery and having authority to consent to the marriage.
Signed: John Oakes

There are only two I can find with the father’s name Richard and neither fit:
Baptism: John Oakes . 16 May 1819 . Bunbury, Cheshire
Father's Name: Richard Oakes . Mother's Name: Ellen
GS Film: 2093505 . Digital Folder: 004018860 . Image: 00742
Apart from the date, the location could work, but 1819 is a long way from 1828. I could not find a death for this John, so another could have the same name.
Baptism: John Oakes . 13 Feb 1829 . Backford, Cheshire
Father's Name: Richard Oakes (Farmer) . Mother's Name: Ellinor Oakes
GS Film: 2093492 . Digital Folder: 004018858 . Image: 00693
The date is closer, while Backford is between Chester and Ellesmere Port, nowhere near Darnhall.
I believe he died 18 Nov 1905 . 77 . Bucklow 8a 137 . Poor Law Union: Cheshire, which fits with its date, Census records and family. It seems the only thing I cannot find is his birth
