What were the names of Michael Faraday's parents?

Michael Faraday, noted British chemist and physicist, was born to James Faraday and Margaret Hastwell on Sept. 22, 1791. He was the third of four children. His father was a blacksmith by trade, while his mother was the daughter of a farmer.

The Faraday family came from poor beginnings; James Faraday moved the family around England a number of times to find steady work in his craft, eventually settling in London. From these humble beginnings, Michael Faraday apprenticed as a bookbinder, and began his lifelong love of learning that culminated in important discoveries in the fields of electromagnetism and chemistry.
