Stuck here. He was supposedly born in Wellington, Shropshire and married Elizabeth Bullock in Brewood Staffordshire in 1793.
His parents could have William ALLcock and Jane but I am not sure.
Any help or pointers would gratefully receives.
Thank you

No Alcock witnesses to the marriage, so no clues there

No baptism on FMP or Ancestry


NB. In 1841, his birthplace is recorded as 'in County', which means Staffordshire. It's in 1851 when he says it was Wellington, Shropshire

Thank you for your help so far.
Most of the information I am getting is from Family Search (Shirley & Erika) and I am veering towards William christened 1 Sept 1771 (Maddie & Abby) and parents William and Jane, so I might look at them a bit closer.
Maybe check all who are in Brewood/Kiddermore Green from Shropshire.
Again my thanks.
Brian
