Hi, I have a James Smith born about 1806-1810 in Barton Mills according to censuses. I know he had sisters called Rebecca Smith born about 1805 (my direct line) and Lucy Smith born about 1803, although I do not know if the sisters were also born in Barton Mills as both died before the 1851 census. All three siblings lived in Huntingdon as adults.
Is any one able to check Barton Mills baptisms for these three?
Thank you so much for your help.

Barton Mills baptisms are on familysearch - all there is for Smith is:
William bp.27/3/1796, son John and Elizabeth
Ann bp.13/10/1799, dau. John and Elizabeth
Mary bp.28/12/1800, dau. John and Elizabeth
There are no more Smith's 1801-1816 then 3 1817, 1818 and 1820 the latter being a James bp.29/2/1820, son of Robert and Eliza.

Many thanks Annette, I should have checked that but I did check the Familysearch wiki before posting but it doesn't list any baptisms online for Barton Mills so I guess it isn't entirely accurate.
If I check the film numbers for the baptisms you've listed it looks like they are transcribed from the Bishops Transcripts, so on the off chance that there may be gaps in those BT records if anyone has access to the parish records or a transcript from them and can double check whether they are baptised in the parish I would be very grateful.
