Allesley ~5k NW of Coventry
1790. Joseph Sparrow born. No baptism on FMP, FS. But there are Allesley baptisms of Thomas 1784, John 1787, William 1789 to William & Mary Sparrow and a page of baptisms Dec 1790-April 1791 seem to be missing from the records on Ancestry, so a good probability that he was indeed born to William Sparrow & Mary Hanson
He does call his first son William in 1817
