Thank you Elizabeth for that link - I had no idea that little gem of a site existed!! Thanks to KiteRunner for the search tips - it even tells you which chapel they were baptised in when you click on the 'recordset' - very useful!
His father was definitely John though (according to his marriage cert).
I have just looked at my notes again and I think I have found baptisms of his brothers and sisters in Cheltenham from 1828 onwards - parents names John and Mary SOUL, of Cheltenham, occupation: Salesman. Maybe they travelled around and he was baptised before they got to Cheltenham. Their marriage has proved just as elusive!
