Hello, thank you for your reply.
I have done some further research and discovered that William's father is also called William - this is on his marriage certificate dated 1841. William (senior) was also listed as being a mariner. William (junior) had been married previously so I am also on the hunt for his first marriage!
I thought initially that Peter and Agnes were his parents and started researching them too but it looks like I was climbing the wrong tree unfortunately. I do still have the downloaded copy of Peter's will (testament dative) and would be happy to send this to you if you dont have it already.
Thank you again for your reply, it is much appreciated. I have found two Williams both with the father named William and the mother in both cases is called Margaret so I am not sure which one, if any, are the 'right' William and Margaret! I guess this will be my next thread to unravel!!
Kind regards
Victoria
