X00375: Henry Rothwell 1838-1840

I'm investigating Henry Rothwell who, much like Ellen Reynolds is a potential child of Henry Rothwell and Alice Hacking who lived between census years and therefore never shows up on a census record. Also, much like Ellen Reynolds, I found out about Henry Rothwell through other family trees.

The main sources of evidence for Henry Rothwell are two records from St. Paul's Church in Blackburn

The first is a baptism record from 1838

It shows a baptism date of 28 August 1838; parents of Henry and Alice Rothwell. The family is located in Blackburn and the father's occupation is listed as a "cutter" (if I read that correctly). So, it all fits, although no definite proof that is the same family, as there may have been more than one Henry and Alice Rothwell living in the area.

Then, I came across a burial record:

The burial record gives a burial date of 9 February 1840 and an age at death of 17 months, which would correspond to a birthdate around August of 1838, so it fits. Unfortunately, the record doesn't give us an additional information to link back to the family.

So, next I found a death record

The death record gives a date of 5 February 1840 of typhoid fever. It confirms the partents names of Henry and Alice Rothwell, so it matches with the baptism record, but unfortunately, still doesn't directly link back to my family

What would be helpful would be to find a birth record, as that would likely give the mother's maiden name. Unfortunately, I have been checking with the records at the GRO, and have not been able to find any Henry Rothwells born in or around Blackburn in 1838. So, I'm still searching for that definite link.
