Looking for parents of William Attfield senior

[LizzieL]

William Attfield married Mary Hutson on 31 August 1813 at Allhallows, Thames Street London. Mary was a minor because the marriage record notes that her widowed mother Sarah Hutson gave permission for the marriage. I have only traced one child so far: William Hutson Attfield born about 1817 in Shoreditch. He married Louisa Duttman in 1842. On William H Attfield's marriage record it said his father was a Coal Agent. WHA is on the 1851 census with Louisa and two of their children, but by 1861 Louisa is widowed. Louisa and her four children were the subject of a removal order in 1854 from ratcliff (where she was born) to Shoreditch. It names the four children and says that WHA died in  June 1853 (not found death record) and it says William snr (WHA's father) is residing at Hawthorn Cottage, Holly Street, Dalston, Middx. Can anyone please find William snr, hopefully with wife Mary, in 1851, to give a lead on where and when born and thence his parents?

William Sr. died in 1855; you can view his will via Ancestry or the National Archives:
https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D61300

Will includes his daughter-in-law Louisa and his grandchildren.

He married again to a lady called Sukey, whom he also names in his will. On the 1851 census, he is living with her in Hackney. His birth year is c.1789 and born in Woking, Surrey.

P.S. I cannot take full credit for these findings; this is mostly the work of this man:

Thank you very much. I'll look at the pdf you sent a link to.

His father on his 1850 marriage to Sukey is James Attfield, carpenter.

The .pdf I sent you does not go back this far, but there is a baptism for a William Attfield on 26th June 1788 in Woking, Surrey, with father James and mother Mary.

Likely marriage between a James Attfield and Mary Martin in Woking in 1785.

Thanks again, I've just downloaded the will and it mentions the four children of WHA.
The Attfields seem to go back to the same village in Surrey that my ancestors are from. I have a DNA match to a descendant of WHA. Ancestry has flagged up a common ancestor for us, but it is the wrong one, but I think I would get the right CA if I can get back a generation or two more.
