John Henry Baker birth/baptism record

John Henry Baker birth/baptism record

Surnames: Baker, Backer, Becker, Vogel
Today would have been great-grandfather Henry's birthday...I think. He was born 2 Jun 1861, purportedly in St. Clements, Wellesley Twp., where brother Joseph Becker was born Mar 1856.

This could also be where younger siblings Adam (13 Oct 1862) and Anthony (19 Nov 1863) were born, as the family (Johann Adam Backer & Elizabeth Vogel) seems to have moved on by the time of their sister Catherine's birth in 1865, in Grey Twp, Huron.

If anyone can located a baptism record for my Henry, it would be a nice way to mark his birthday, albeit rather tardily. If Adam's and Anthony's are found, a cake may be in order :).

Many thanks!

John Henry was born on or about 1861, which was before the province of Ontario officially recorded births. His family was Roman Catholic, and the surname spelling varied depending upon who recorded it. Later in life, siblings would go on to use different forms of their last name. I'm particularly interested in the baptismal records from the church, and have inserted birth dates as provided through the 1901 Census, their death records, or both.
