Joseph Meads b1803 England

The research that myself and others are doing on the Meads family of NZ have come up against a brick wall in going any further back from Joseph. There is a strong possability that Joseph's father was called John.

Can any one help?

JOSEPH MEADS born 1803 in England died January 9th 1880 at Tutaenui New Zealand. Various birthplaces for Joseph have been suggested.
Potternewton district, Leeds is possible.

Joseph's marriage to Maria Lord[ s ] took place at Birstall, Yorkshire. The spelling of Meads in the Parish Register was Medes.

       Three sons were born in England. The Parish Register has provided more alternative spellings of Meads in their entries.

       John Meeds, Joseph Meeds, and William Meads.
Maria died and Joseph remarried Ann Coates in 1842.

       They sailed to New Zealand July 27, 1842 aboard the S.S. Thomas Sparks. along with John and Hannah, Joseph and William.
