Thanks for joining that up and adding the info...Farside...

now this William Willetts son may be from Thomas's first wife aged 8
is it Thomas but then he has another Wm in 1870

cos he marries later to Susan Stokes...

so can we find who he married
she may have died in childbirth having this William
he is not on 1851 but would have been aged 15?
so between 1851 and 1861 he marries and then she must die before 1861
