Charles Bailey Burial Wollaston/Woodford

[Alturiak]

I have two Charles Baileys bap at Cranford St John. The same father John Bailey but different mothers. The first was Bap 22 Jan 1852 to John & Betsey Bailey. (I'm assuming Betsey was short for Elizabeth) This was from the marriage of John Bailey & Elizabeth Pentelow 1845 at Woodford. Elizabeth died in 1852 and John remarried Ann Abbott. Their first son was bap Charles 19 Mar 1854. So on the face of it John has 2 sons called Charles; one bap in 1852 and the other in 1854. The 1861 census shows John & Ann with 4 children but only 1 Charles. George 12 and William age 10 who are from his marriage to Elizabeth and Charles 8 and Joseph 5 from his second marriage to Ann. It would seem odd that John & Ann would call their first son Charles if the one from the previous marriage was still alive but I cannot find a burial for Charles,certainly not at Cranford. 
Would anyone with burial records for either Woodford or Wollaston be kind enough to see if they can find the burial of Charles Bailey between 1852 and 1854.

Thank you,
Chris.

8 year old Charles in the 1861 census is probably the one bapt in 1852.
Perhaps the second Charles baptism was a copying error by the clerk and should have been a different name.

At first I thought it might be the Charles baptised in 1852 but I do not know his birth year which means that he could have been older than 8.  The second Charles was born Jan 1854 and although adding 8 years takes the date up to 1862 I now believe this is the correct Charles and that is why I'm trying to establish a death of the Charles born to John & Betsey between his baptism in 1852 and his step brothers birth in 1854.

Of course another option is that the first Charles could have been around 12 years old and working away from home.  I have the census returns for every parish in Northamptonshire and I cannot find him so the first option seems more plausible.

Sorry, that should be Passenham, St Guthlac.

St Guthlac sounds like it is in Cornwall,not Northants 

Why are you thinking that he may have been buried in Wollaston if they lived in Cranford?

Hi

I nearly didn't post this burial because it didn't appear to have any connection to the given places, but it did stand out as the only possible.

St Guthlac does sound Cornish; I believe the origins are in the fens...
