I have had a look at all the Hawnby baptisms between 1790 - 1810 and I cannot find anything for William Chapman. However if you are wanting to go back a generation I can give you his possible siblings. By going 'sideways' it might be possible to work out who his ancestors might be.
He may have been baptised elsewhere though.-jl

Anne Bradley baptised at Hawnby 9 March 1792 parents John Bradley and Anne Chapman
Mary Fletcher 10 Feb 1801 baptised 13 Feb 1801 parents William Fletcher and Mary Chapman
Jane Chapman daughter of Thomas Chapman and Jane Hildrith baptised Hawnby 24 July 1798
Found another Jane Chapman daughter of William Chapman and Dinah baptised 23 Aug 1810
Hannah Chapman daughter of George Chapman and Honour Pennington baptised Hawnby 27 May 1792
Hannah Chapman daughter of William Chapman and Mary Scott 10 Feb 1794
Ann Chapman daughter of Richard Chapman and Betsey 14 June 1810
Martha Chapman daughter of John Chapman and Monica 14 Mar 1801
Hannah Smith daughter of John Smith and Hannah Chapman 6 Mar 1791
