A William HUARD married Mary GOKES in Mappleton, near Hornsea, in 1741. Both children were born at Lockington, about 30 km away, so with William's recorded name
being only similar the match is only a possibility.
A Richard HEWARD married a Barbara HUNTER at Elloughton-cum-Brough in 1717. Whether this is William's father is uncertain, especially with Richard's three children
(Thomas, William & Richard) all being born in Kilnwick
(with Thomas having been born in 1716).

The most likely baptism record for Christopher suggests he was baptised in Hovingham - father Francis - in 1723.
Christopher & Ann's marriage entry gives her name as 'LEAH' but no corresponding baptism record can be found in the area. However, an Ann LEAY was baptised at Great Driffield in 1725 - a second record gives her name as LEA. Other baptism entries from Great Driffield with the same father's name (John) are also found with both LEA and LEAH as surnames.
Several records exist for the marriage of John LEAH at Foston on the Wolds in 1710 and John LEAY in 1712 - same spouse, place and date. The first Great Driffield baptism record was Elizabeth LEA in 1712.
Christopher Walker/Sarah Robinson had a daughter 'Leah' which also suggests that Ann's surname was in fact LEAH.
Another option considered was an Ann LEAK, father Richard, baptised in Lockington in 1723, Lockington being only a few km from Catwick, where Christopher and Anne married.
