Looking for William Stride's parents and possible siblings

[LizzieL]

William Stride was baptised in Stoke Damerel on 7 Nov 1784, s/o James and Elizabeth Stride. Can anyone find a marriage for the couple and if William had any siblings, please

James 3.5.1775 Ringwood Hamps s of James And Elizabeth Stride
James 6.3.1776  "       "
James 1.6.1777 Gillingham Kent s of James and Elizabeth Stride
Daniel 19.9.1779 Gillingham
Elizabeth Portsea 20.1.1782

Thank you. I think there may be two James / Elizabeth couples. I cannot find a burial for the James 1776.

William became a shipwright and ended up at Minster in Sheppey. There is a burial in 1837 of a James who was born about 1759, which might be his father. If so he would be too young to have fathered a child in 1769.

There is also a marriage in Stoke Damerel on 01 Jan 1782 of a James Stride, Cook on HMS  Formidable, but to a Hester (Duffey) not Elizabeth, vicar has written her name as Esther but she signed Hester.

in 1851, there is a Thomas Stride b abt 1797 at Charlton near Woolwich, occupation shipwright living at Minster in Sheppey. H matches with a Thomas b 19 Nov 1794, bapt 4 Dec 1794 at Woolwich s/o James and Elizabeth, so I think he's William's brother
