The town is correctly Ecseny or Ecsény, and the correct spelling of "John" in Hungarian is János.

Per the 1877 gazetteer, Lutherans had a church locally, while Roman Catholics were recorded in Mernye, and Calvinists in Mocsolád. Per the 1913 gazetteer, the civil registration office was in (FelsÅ‘)mocsolád.

Here's Henrik's birth:

Given that they're Lutheran, there's nothing else available online. FamilySearch does have the Lutheran church records from Ecseny on microfilm (https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/128209), which you can order (for a fee) for viewing at your nearest Mormons.
