I looked up baptisms for a couple Philip Stevenson and Maria. They seem to have children baptised in the parish church at Stone between 1802 and 1810, including a Philip in 1804. I think he married Harriet Allman and they are the parents of Elizabeth b. 1845.
Philip and Maria seem to have switched to a non-conformist congregation after that, and have children baptised at Stone Independent Chapel in 1812, 1814 and 1816. I can't find a baptism for Enoch there, but he might well belong to this family. His age seems quite consistent in the records (not that that means much!) so born around 1824. It would be nice to get the second marriage checked for his father's name, but I don't know which church it was it, and it may even have been in a registry office.
Hope some of that helps.
