William Murray b.abt.1800 Allonby, Cumberland
« on: Friday 28 June 13 17:09 BST (UK) »
Can anyone please help me find the parents of William Murray b.abt. 1800 Allonby.  He married Nancy Hodgson in 1815.  They had four children - William b.1820, Joseph 1821, Catherine 1829 and Eliza 1839. 
I have William in 1841 at Torpenhow; 1851 Bothel and Threapland; 1861 the same and 1871 the same
with a possible death 1877.
William's grandson emigrated to USA and I am helping one of the family to trace their anscestors.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm ...

his census ages (and date of marriage) suggest a birth a few years earlier than you suggested
1841  40-44
1851  55
1861  63
1871  74

and two of the three censuses give birthplace as Bromfield, only one says Allonby.

What was the name of his first son? :)

EDIT: Joseph - that's no help!  :-\ 1816 not 1821 https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/N5CL-YR2
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.
