Re the Thomas HARRISON / Mary STEEL marriage: a Thomas and Mary Harrison can be found on the 1851 census in Feckenham, Worcestershire. He was born Devonport, Devon in about 1775 and she was born in Newland in about 1772. Thomas was a surgeon and general practitioner.

There is a Stoke Damerel baptism for 2 February 1775, son of Thomas and Grace (nee PRUDALL) Harrison. Thomas and Grace had other children, among them a William baptised at Stoke Damerel 30 March 1773. Maybe this is your man?
