I'm looking for help with finding the baptism and ist marriage of William Headland (Hedland/Hadland) He was the father of Thomas Headland baptised souldrop 7th March 1773. Willliam Married Elizabeth Allen and later when a widow married Elizabeth Evans souldrop 6th January 1772.
I can't find his baptism or 1st marriage. I have him as the possible child of Thomas Headland (same spellings as above) and Dorothy Johnson. They may have had another child called William that died as a child.

Thanks. Now it's just his baptism. IGI have a few births if you spell it Hedland or Hadland. Luckily i can't find the first Williams Death! I'm hoping he is the son of Thomas and Dorothy.

The Souldrop PR has the burial on 30 Dec 1720 of William, son of Thomas & Dorothy Headland. He was baptised at Souldrop 13 Dec 1719, son of Thomas Headland.
Unless this is their first child William, & the one you are looking for came later ?
Their next son was Thomas 1724, who was buried 1726, & they replaced him with a new Thomas in 1729
regards John

Hi there I did have that William but was hoping he wasn't the one. i think my William was their last child. I have all of the children of Thomas and Dorothy but not my William. It's his parents i need. His birth was around 1830
