Is this our William/Joseph?

Could be.

I have just been looking at this.

I think it probably is William on that census.

I think this may possibly be Hannah Clay

Then this...
1861. Coombes Wood, Gosty Hill, Hill
John Plant, head, 35, Nailer, Dudley Wood
Hannah Plant, wife, 48, Nailer, NK
Henry Clay, Illegitimate child, 20, Rivet Maker, Hill Township

They are on BCC here so looks like Hannah Robinson is on twice.

I'm sorry, I'm lost on this now

So are William Clay and Joseph Clay the same person

looks like on Henrys mar down as Joseph clay for father

then Hannah Robinson marries a plant?

I think William is Joseph,

Dudley St Thomas.

Not on Freebmd or GRO.
Halesowen St John the Baptist.
Burial date 25 Jun 1851.
Joseph CLAY. age 46.

I think they are same too will merge.

Think he is a William Clay to start and changes name when they themselves have a William
so takes Joseph on census and William on sons mar.
