Does anyone have anything on a William Storey who was in Clerkenwell in 1821?

I have the baptism of Henry Walgr?ve Storey, son of William and Caroline at St. James Clerkenwell on 13/1/1821. William is listed as a pencil manufacturer - however this may mean brushes used to hand-paint fine china.

I've been through the parish records of St. James in the LMA twice and cannot find any evidence of either William and Caroline's marriage or any other children.

There is a William Story m Caroline who has two children baptised in St. Andrew Holborn in 1812-1815 however the baptism records of that church in the LMA list him as a Jeweller so it's probably a different couple.

I have a Caroline Storey b 1797, buried 11/2/1835 at St. Andrew Holborn however I can't be sure if this really is Henry's mother.

Thanks

Jonathan
