Steads at St Martins Leicester lookup please

[lynonline]

Hi
I was hoping for some help finding the baptism of Joseph Steads.

I have an IGI record for the baptism of his son, William Steads, 12 Jun 1803, St Martins, Leicester, Parents Joseph Steads and Mary.

There is an IGI record for the marriage of a Joseph Stead (no s) and Mary Foulds 18 Nov 1792 at Newtown Linford, Leicester. 

I was hoping that someone who had access to the St Martins records could look up the baptism records for around 1770 to see if there is a record for Joseph Steads, so that I can find his parents names.

Many thanks, Lyn

Hi Bunnygirl
Many thanks for doing all of this.
I had found the St Martins baptisms of the children but not the one for Hannah at Newtown Linford.
Thanks too for the Foulds information.

I have documented evidence that William is my ancestor.  It looks likely that Joseph is his father, but that next step is missing.

There are IGI records for children of Samuel Steads and Elizabeth Mee in Newtown Linford:
Ann 1761, Samuel 1764, Lucy 1768, Mary 1770, Hetty 1773, Thomas 1780.  I was hoping Joseph would have been in this lot, but no such luck. 
Thanks again for your help
Regards, Lyn
