Hi Clive,
Welcome to the forum. Lucky you, researching Smith :)
You sound as if you're looking for details of William's baptism and parents, for which you'll need to refer to the parish registers, but first of all it's important to establish you have the correct William Smith. I had a quick look on the census 1851-1881 but couldn't see a suitable William (only the one who Elley found born 1810, and he seems to be rooted in Lincs).
To save everyone wasting their time looking for stuff you've already got, can you tell us what info you already have, e,g, census for 1841, 1851, (and the census refs because sometimes they help us clarify things), and also the marriage details.
