There are 2 born as above
Wm on census is William not William Henry

Found the christening record on ancestry

Name: William Henry Blakeway
Gender: Male
Christening Date: 21 Jan 1866
Christening Place: Sedgley, Staffordshire, England
Father's Name: William Blakeway
Mother's Name: Sarah

and Isaiah on the same day

Isaiah OR William Blakeway
Gender: Male
Christening Date: 21 Jan 1866
Christening Place: Sedgley, Staffordshire, England
Father's Name: William Blakeway
Mother's Name: Sarah

Ok...........so if Wm Henry Blakeway is born 1862 and bapt 1866 as Wm Henry
but is down as Wm Blakeway on census................but marries as Wm Henry Blakeway

then that must be him then mustnt it

I think connect up with a note Kay
