Thanks, but not the subject of my immediate research.

This William was actually born in Caracas, Spain.
The father, John, was a blacksmith and his children were born in Hull, Brighton, London and the last one in Spain.
The family is in the 1861 census.

The mother's name has not been fully identified.
It may have been Cowling with a marriage in the UK. There may have been a second wife Catherine Cowell. Neither marriage has been located.
