Barnes may well have been a common name in this area.
There was a practice to name streets after people.
There are 3 streets named Barnes St - in Church, Accrington, and Clayton-le-Moors. When I lived on Barnes St Church, mail was often misdelivered between the 3.
Church is a small community and has a very ancient parish church - St James - which is still operational, and may well have some parish records of his birth.
