William Skipsey hunnam

[Margruss]

Hi there
I am trying to find the parents of William Skipsey Hunnam born in North Shields around 1804. He married Eliza Thomas Lovering in 1842 in Swansea. She is in the 1851 census with her sister in the household and also in the 1861 census as a widow. William was a mariner and I have a copy of a Masters certificate of service dated 1852.
The BMDUk shows a death in 1863 for a William Skipsey Hunnam but I am pretty sure that he is the son of George and Sarah Hunnam  who was born in 1841 also in North Shields and was also a mariner.
Many thanks
Margaret

If you use the following site you can search deaths prior to 1916 and get ages also births will show mothers maiden names

Thank you so much Rosie. That has solved a big question for me and confirms what I thought but could never find proof for. I am so grateful.
