His marriage cert (Gateshead Dec 1886 10a 1055) will give you his father's name Peter

This is my problem, I do not know-guess the year to be about 1830 ish - but truly a guess, have searched high and low-nothing - County Tyrone came up somewhere, but family tell me Armagh-is that spelt right-honestly lost here-just gone back to g/g/ grandad William as I said he moved to Heworth, Durham, married a Jane Mc Combs in 1886 and I think died in 1899-but nothing has his parents details on-again a guess-but the family seem to favour David and William as Christian names, and as I think his sister is Sarah, perhaps that is his Mothers name-I honestly am stuck-tried every avenue I know but only been doing this for 6 months-seems like an eternity-thanks for replying anyway-jennifer.
