Struggling with a baptism for William snr. It doesn't help that William Jones must be the most common name on the planet! His father was William Priday, so possibly illegitimate. I found three single Jones women who each had a son named William!
Also, Myra Beach was the daughter of Joseph & Eliza. She had 8 sisters and 1 brother. I can find all their baptisms but not hers.

Ye Gods, these Voresters are hard to vollow! I think I've got this right! Joseph & Eliza Beach's daughter Myra married William Jones in 1870. Another of their daughters (Ada) married Henry (Harry) Robins in 1884.
Myra & William's son was William Henry. Ada & Henry's daughter was Kate. So they were 1st cousins and married in 1903. The only discrepancy I can see is a difference in age of 4 years for Ada. She was baptised 13/09/1868 making her 16 when she married in 1884. However on the Parish Record it states she was 20.
Please feel free to correct me - I'm brain dead now!

Sorry about that the brain went ! Myra's sister Louisa married James Mann who was the son of James Mann & Isabella Voice.

You were right regarding Ada Beach parish records do have her as 20 years old but she was not quite 16 at the time of marriage.
How can I access the baptism records? Any idea how I can trace the mother's name for William Jones Snr (Birth father William Priday)

Click on 'Parish Records' at the top of this page. Then click on 'Search Parish Records' when the new page comes up. Just complete the form with relevant names/dates and fire away. If you aren't sure of the year or parish leave the boxes blank and search all. You can search baptisms, marriages, burials, or all three.
I don't know if anyone else has any ideas how we can find William's mother?
I've tried looking for illegitimate William's born at the the time and there are three to choose from on the records. He might show up on a census but William Jones is a tad common name!
We need the advice of the experts now please!
