Hi Michael, Is it possible that Richard ROYCE is the father of Frederick, I have checked the 1841 census and found John & Mary - John being born abt 1811, a son Richard 7 born 1834 and another son John is 5 born 1836 also two daughters Mary and Ann. A quick search of 1851 - cannot find them - maybe mistranscribed. Sorry I cannot help with the baptisms, but, if you check www.familysearch.org there is a baptism for a Richard ROYCE 30 Mar 1834 in Buckminster, Leic - parents John & Mary.
