I am trying to discover who the parents of William Stenson were. William was born c 1770 in  Coleorton Leicestershire--he may have been baptised at Ashby de la Zouche.He married Hannah Varnham.
 
There was another William Stenson born round the same time whoseparents were Joespeh Stenson & margaret Potter--that isn't my William.
 
It has been easy to trace his descendants, and info about his life,but, so far, impossible to trace his ancestors.
I would be very grateful for any advice you are able to offer please.
 
Thank you--Eileen

Thank you for this Mike--I appreciate yuor trouble. AS you say, the birth dates are a bit different. I will check these names with what I have. There did seem to be a lot of Stensons in & around Leics!
If only there were earlier censuses!!!
Thank you--Eileen

Thank you for this.
I think I will send my daughter and family to Ashby on a grave hunt!They successfully found me some graves in the Coleorton  area for Stensons! (they are in the E Midlands)
I am grateful for these leads.& the work involved.
Thank you--Eileen
