Frederick William Pennington

Baptism: 8 Aug 1850 St Peter, Liverpool, Lancs.
Frederick William Pennington - [Child] of William Pennington & Ann
Born: 28 May 1850
Abode: London Road
Occupation: Pilot
Baptised by: Tho. Halton Curate
Register: Baptisms 18lerks50 - 1851, Page 145, Entry 1160
Source: LDS Film 93886

This record is from the updated pages at Lancashire Parish Clerks. I have been researching this person. The information that i had on him was his name and that he was baptised at St Peter's Church. I have followed his path through all the census.
This baptism record is for the same Frederick that i have been looking for. Frederick would change his name to just Frederick Williams after a fall out with his father.I have been unable to find a source to show the name change. Has anyone got this person in their family tree? Please leave a comment if you have any information
