Trying to find Henshaw

Hi, do you know anything about the parents of WILLIAM HENSHAW, born in 1850 in Pennsylvania, USA? All I know is that they both were born in England and undocumented family history says they were called William Henshaw and Mary Cooper but the earliest definite documentation I have about William is the 1880 US census which shows him as already married & living in Delaware, Pennsylvania. I haven't found a birth record yet. His wife, nee Derbyshire, was born in Pennsylvania in 1851 and both her parents also came from England. If you could help at all I would be most grateful. Good luck with your own searches too! Michael
