According to the Lancashire OPC database, there was only one John Alcock baptised in Lancashire between 1794 and 1811, and that was on 19th June 1803 in Prescot, son of Michael and Mary. Given his son's name is Michael and there are no obvious burials that would suggest he died during childhood, I am inclined to believe this is the one we're after.
