bullet  Notes:

Got parents (and second name) from finding christening record on familysearch.org. NB; Lot's of Moorby's in Gigg/Settle - so might not be correct, but fits, as he had son called Thomas and a daughter called Ann, and Francis Stephenson is fairly specific.
Later; found the original baptism in the N.Yorks CRO and this led me to Thomas and Ann's fathers name. Specificially it said; "Francis Stephenson, son of Thomas Moorby of Settle son of Robert Moorby of Rathmell, by Ann his wife daughter of William Stephenson of Arkholme".

Found marriage info on familysearch.org
