John and Sarah's birth year's could be different from what I mentioned but on one of the census records it says john was born in 1809 and then another it says 1813 I believe it is 1813 because it fits with his death date of 1896.

I am trying to find a baptism or christening record for my ggggreat grandfather John Bolton he was born about 1813 in Glastonbury, Somerset, England. I have tried looking on ancestry and family search but haven't found anything. He married Sarah I don't know her maiden name she was also born in Glastonbury.
Kind Regards
