Edward Graham and Isabella Stephenson had a William baptised at St John, Newcastle on 2 Mar 1806 (born 15 Mar 1805) - source FamilySearch. (I didn't try John William, and there may be other possibilities too.) See if you can find any other children of theirs, as they might match the ones in the 1841 census entry that JJen found.

Ideally you need to look at each of the Williams and see if any of them died young, so they can be ruled out. It would probably also help if you can track down baptisms for all the children found in the census, just to make sure you know who fits where and to keep an eye on father's occupations, residences etc. However, you may now need to extend your search beyond censuses and parish registers to things like wills and poor law records to try and find hints as to which family your William came from.

How domi search poor law records
This page at GENUKI gives a good starting point: http://www.genuki.bpears.org.uk/NBL/Poorhouses.html
and its suggestion of the Paupers' Records guide from Tyne & Wear Archives (http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/userfiles/UG22.pdf) is a good one - this is a leaflet listing all the relevant sources available there.

Any idea who they are? Might be worth trying to find them in 1881 (& 1871?) to see if that gives any clues.
