Thank you Robert for your reply.
Yes I have the information that you have given me.
But I need to find Williams Parents.
I have now found a William Hodgetts Baptised 18 April 1773 at St Thomas Dudley with a Mother Esther Hodgetts, no father mentioned. Could this be my William?
I have also found a Esther Hodgetts death 7 June 1829 age 60 years, Sedgley. This could be Williams wife but cannot confirm.
