The father of that one is William, though (and the mother is Sarah).

I didn't realise you could use the free search on BMD Registers to tell you the parents' names other than by guessing various names till someone did it for me a few weeks ago, but I've figured out how to do it now. Go back to "standard search" and put in surname only, as it appears on the record you found, tick "yes" for Exact Match, choose Event Type Births & Baptisms, and tick to search all names. Then page through the results to find the entry you had before and it will show you the parents' names. I don't think this would work for common surnames, though.
