These are the Help pages from the LDS website:
The first thing to bear in mind when looking for any Baptisms, Marriages or Deaths on the IGI is that if they don't appear when you search it doesn't mean that they weren't registered or didn't exist - they may not have been added to the database as yet.

Because the dates for this the batch number finish in 1809, you can't tell whether there are any other siblings. To find out if there are any more siblings, you can try searching the IGI by using the parents' names.
Another way to find out if there are any other siblings is to use the Hugh Wallis site to see if there are baptisms recorded on the IGI after 1809 for this parish.
When you have found these index entries, you should check the [Registers] for the original entries - you may be lucky enough to find more information e.g. their address, the father's occupation and depending on the Vicar, you may find other details. ou may also come across other siblings who had been missed in the orginal indexing.
If you can't get to the appropriate Records Office it is possible to order the films from your local LDS Centre.
