Hi Dianne, it may well be that the family were non-conformist, hence the children would not have been christened/baptised in the local church. You would have to trawl throught the non conformist chapel records - several of which are unfortunately lost. Have you tried the Trades Directories for that period at all - that won't help with his baptism, but will give a bit more info from between the census'.
