Be aware that there are many Barton families in South West Lancashire. Did he leave a will as they may help with working out where he was born or did other family members leave wills that would help with the search?

Have a look at lancs opc site. There is a baptism for a Wiiliam Barton around that date in Prescot but no parents names given. There are several other Barton baptisms around that time, some with father's name and some without.
