Joseph Birch

[maggie may]

Joseph Birch Born 1781 in the Leek area. Married Ann Beardmore born 1783, They were married 27th Dec. 1798 in Leek St. Edwards church.
I am trying to establish who Joseph's parents are. The I G I only throws up one in Abbots Bromley with the parents being William Birch and Elizabeth Taylor and I belive he was from Ipstones, Froghall area. Joseph died in 1861 and ann died in 1857 both are buried in the Ipstones church yard.   Joseph was a preacher for the primative methodist church.
Can somebody please advise me as I have run into a brick wall.
               Many thanks
