Good Morning
I am hoping that you might help me find any information regarding John's parents.
His baptism was on the 6th Sept 1829 in Barnsley and his parents were John a Weaver and Mary.
The baptism record has the surname spelling as Barrat.
I am unable to locate John b 1829 on the 1841 census.

Ignore the Ancestry tree unless documentary evidence is offered in support of the so-called info

Looks very ‘iffy’ without death dates for the alleged parents
