Emmanuel Hutchinson of Leck - origins?

[Evertonian2]

Can anyone tell me where my ggggrandfather Emmanuel Theobald Hutchinson was born or baptised (around 1795 I think).  Married Mary Ellershaw at Tunstall in 1822, and lived all his life in Leck.  In all the censuses and gave his birthplace as Leck. Died in 1879.  In 1841 census I think he said that he was not born in Lancashire - perhaps Westmorland?  The only possibilities I have found on IGI are a) Emmanuel Hutchison (no n) 1802 in Renfrew (but the family names don't match) or b) a reference to a birth of the right date in Barbados.  Is this possible?  Can anyone help?  I would be most grateful for any help given.

I cannot find a birth on line for Emmanuel and the whereabouts of records for Leck pre 1800 are not exactly clear. I did come across the following baptism at Manchester Cathedral on 12 Jun 1796, parents James Hutchinson & Betty but no Christian name for the child. However it looks from other possible baptisms, which may link to them, they may have moved around the county
 
I did find his death/burial record but the date differs to yours?

Emmanuel Hutchinson Death was registered Jul 1872  - Lunesdale, Lancashire

Emmanuel Hutchinson Age: 76 (1796) Burial Date: 9 Aug 1872 Leck, Lancashire

I also found the Barbados connection, the first entry 1817 the last 1834.
Slave Registers of former British Colonial Dependencies, 1812-1834 on Ancestry.
These show records of slave births, an Emanuel John Cock Hutchinson is noted as a slave owner.

There is a christening for
Emanuel Theobalds Hutchinson on Ancestry.
I don't have the right subscription to view it.

There is a baptism  on familysearch for Emmanuel Theobalds Wilkinson born to Mary Wilkinson  13 September 1794 at Kirkby Lonsdale, Westmorland.

As this is a transcription, it might be worth having a look at the original (the registers are held at Kendal Records Office), in case it is actually a hard to read Hutchinson.

I am most grateful to all of you who have given me ideas - I am a newcomer to the site and am overwhelmed how helpful everyone is.  Manny Hutchinson is described in the transcript as female, so that may not be relevant.  It seems to me that the Wilkinson reference is the most likely, since the occurrence of the two unusual Christian names so close to Leck is too great a coincidence.  I will try to have a look at the Kirkby Lonsdale registers to check.  I suppose it is also possible that Mary Wilkinson subsequently married a Hutchinson, and little Emmanuel was 'adopted' by her husband.  So far I have not tracked down a Mary Wilkinson/Hutchinson marriage between 1794 and 1810.  What do you think?

I did wonder whether Emanuel's mother might have later married a Hutchinson, but can't see anything likely on familysearch. It is certainly a possibility.

There is a possible candidate for Emanuel's father.  Emanuel Theobald/s, an agricultural labourer of Strickland Roger, near Kendal.  Ancestry has transcribed his age in the 1841 census as 40, but I think 60 is what is actually written, and he was probably a little older, as ages were usually rounded down in that census. He died in 1847.

Emanuel Theobald married Ann Martindale at Bolton-le-Sands in 1803. (It's on the Ancestry and the Lancs OPC site). Unusually for the time, their ages are recorded. Emanuel was 30.

On Tuesday I checked the transcripts and registers of Kirkby Lonsdale at Kendal record office.  To my surprise I could find no record of Emmanuel Theobalds Wilkinson in 1793, 1794 or 1795.  I was taken by surprise, because I assumed that a reference in Familysearch which was so detailed should link to a record.  In my experience, a tentative or putative birth usually has given the date as "about 1794".  why would anyone "invent" a person with such detail who doesn't exist?  What is the next step in investigating this reference, since I am certain that if it exists it has relevance to my Emmanuel?  Has anyone got any ideas?
