Cottingham's of Coningsby Lincolnshire

[Cottingham]

We are researching the surname of Cottingham. We have a William Cottingham being born in Coningsby, Lincolnshire in 1821. We know a little about him, but know nothing much about his parents. The only information that we have on them is his father was a Thomas Cottingham b. abt 1785 in Dorrington, Lincolnshire, whom married an Elizabeth Bradley. This is all we know, can anyone help us go further back?

I have Cottingham, that is connected to my Parker family. I didn't do any of this research, but found what I do have on Cottingham from the Internet. I have no clue as to where in England my Cottingham originated.
