Default A Stubborn Brick Wall

Hello - I'm new here, but I'm told you love a challenge, so I wonder if anyone can help me? This Brick Wall has defeated researchers for over ten years :-
My g/g/g/grandfather was Thomas Headland b 1786 Uxbridge Middx. He m
Christiana Atkinson & they moved to Islington around 1820.I have much info from then on, but have never been able to trace Thomas's parentage. He may have been Non Conformist - his children were baptised in that faith - but other
than that, I know nothing at all. I believe there may be a connection to the Headlands of Beds./Northants, but have never been able to establish this.
Various other family researchers from around the world have tried to solve this, & all have failed.
Within the last few weeks, one has come up with a couple of new Headlands previously thought unconnected. One - Robert b 1789 - had Thomas's eldest son
as witness to his wedding, so there would seem be a link there.
Can anyone rise to the challenge of this knotty problem?
Thanks in anticipation.

Vita.
