Find Ancestors

I am helping a friend research her Seagrave Family.
This is what we know William Seagrave born 1609 Leicestershire married a Joyce?
Their children were (1) John Seagrave born 1642 Bapt 15 February 1642 at Melton Mowbray Leicestershire (2) William Seagrave born 1644 Bapt 11 August 1644 at Melton Mowbray (3) Ann born 1655 Bapt 20 November 1655 at Melton Mowbray

John Seagrave born 1642 married a Alice? born abt 1635 & their children were
(1) Robert 1660 ( 2) Anne born abt 1665 Frisby on the Wreake Leics married Thomas ILL 1683 ( 3) Elizabeth born 1675 married a John Holford 29/1/1705 ( 4) John born 1678 Bapt 21/8/1678 at Frisby on the Wreake he died 1728 married Mary Ainsworth 30/7/1704.
I am hoping to find the parents of William born 1609 I think his father was a Thomas mother unknown
Thank you for an assistance

Try family search site

Don’t think sites like ancestry or FMP have old records

Or the records office for the area may hold parish records

Edit ancestry has this
