Hi Joy My William was born 1770 in Coleorton. I have no record of his birth or baptism. I have an idea who his parents MIGHT be but might doesn't really cut it. I have a William Stenson married to Hannah Rolston in Spondon in 1749. Would that be your William Jr? I have no information on them, just a random marriage that I found.
