William Hebden drowned in Brighton
I am trying to trace the origins of a William Hebden, one of the Brighton Hebdens, who was drowned in the sea off Brighton on 19th July 1839. According to his son Stephen's evidence at the inquest, William was born in May 1783 - but where?? He had 5 children with his wife Frances;- Stephen, Elizabeth, William, Fanny and John George. Can anybody help?
