Trackin my family name 'Parsons'

So I've done a lot of digging on ancestry/census's etc. and I've tracked back my actual family name 'parsons' as a direct line to 1713! (I find this quite impressive!) I have done branches, parents of the wives/children etc. as well but tis so hard to map...so this it just a direct route backwards. I've been wanting to post this for a while, but wasn't sure how to make it 'make sense' and a recent discovery of a relative on facebook inspired me to jump back on the horse (so-to-speak!) and get this done before I loose all the info!

Alfred Parsons - Married Marina Cutty 1937 - living
1937 - living

Thomas Parsons - Married Ivy Stanley 1904 - 1970
1901 - 1975

James Parsons - Married Alice Harriet Coley 1875 - 1950
1869 - 1922

James Parsons - Married Phoebe Whitehouse 1807 - ?
1839 - 1911

Henry Parsons - Married Hannah Harper 1804 - 1885
1806 - 1855

Henry Parsons - Married Phoebe Hampton 1784 - ?
1779 - 1859

Henry Littley Parsons - Married Sarah Henley 1757 - ?
1756 - ?
     |
Henry Littley Parsons - Married Ann (maiden name unknown) 1713 -
1713 - 1785


Obviously as we get further back finding death certificates and maiden names becomes rather tricky!

The most interesting thing I have discovered is that the Parsons line were from Staffordshire. Up until the late 1800's they were all living in Staffordshire. At some point in his life James Parsons (1869 - 1922) Married Alice Harriet Coley (who was also born in Staffordshire) and they moved up to Easington. - Only the more recent generations have lived in the North East.
