Barbara there is no baptism on the Vic Registry for John c1850 however there are two baptisms for children Elizabeth and Samuel to Samuel and Jane at Christ Church, Geelong in 1850 and 2 births "F" and Emma registered to Samuel and Jane HOWARTH at Colac in 1855 and 1857 respectively. Jane died in 1859.
May I ask the source of your information about John?
Either of the birth registrations should give all previous births to the marriage.
I suggest you trawl the DUCK entries on these databases. Further information available. Details on website.

Thanks for the info Cando. my source for John was from another descendant of Samuel Duck and Jane Howarth I also have him as being born 1852 Colac. Seems I will have to do more digging to confirm birth info.
