Hi I am looking for the parents of William Stephenson born 1818 in Durham, England, died 1887 Pelton Fell. He was a miner, married Ann Hunter in 1843, and had the following children: William J, Andrew, Mary Jane, Susannah, Ann, and Hannah. I know Ann's parents were Andrew and Ann but I am completely stuck on who William's parents were or if he had any siblings. Can anyone please help?

I know it's very confusing! I know they liked to use the same names over and over so I was hoping that would be a clue but I have nothing so far and have been stuck for weeks. Thank you for your response, have a great day

Thank you so much! I did see that information also but I wasn't sure since I have no record of any others named Edward. I just sorted through 5 generations of James' on the other (Stephenson) side of my tree so maybe I was just assuming this side would repeat the names through generations too. Jane would fit though since William and Ann had a daughter, Mary Jane (Cummings). Again thank you, especially for taking the time to respond. Have a great day

There's a marriage registration for William Stephenson, Durham, Jun Qtr 1843, 24 74 -Ann Hunter on the same page.
The marriage certificate may include the names of the happy couple's fathers and their occupations - but there's no guarantee this information will be present (eg. deceased, illegitimacy). But obtaining the marriage cert. is normally part of any working back."dyfal donc a dyr y garreg"

There's info on Chester le Street on the GENUKI site HERE. It's always a good place to go if you want to know about a place in the UK.
