Adam, to get reliable information you really need to get a copy of the marriage certificate to confirm father's name:
Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page Marriages Mar 1916 Bonner Hilda G Brooks Farnham 2a 315 Brooks William A S Bonner Farnham 2a 315
However, following on from the baptism record that Joan posted the initial transcript of, the father William Henry on that record was a Gunner RA, they lived at 3 Hobson's Buildings, Artillery Place. William Alfred Stanley's actual date of birth was Aug 11 1894.

According to the 1901 that Andy posted, the father William Brooks was born in Plumstead.
There is a full set of Service Records for a William Henry Brooks born Plumstead on Ancestry.
Will start looking through, but have to pop out soon.

Hope Adam comes back here when he get's marriage certificate.
A contender for William Alfred S' future wife in 1911:
BONNER, Richard Head Married M 59 1852 Labourer General Jobbing Frensham Surrey BONNER, Mary Elizabeth Wife Married 36 years F 57 1854 Frensham Surrey BONNER, Charles Richard Son Single M 33 1878 Labourer Guildford Surrey BONNER, George Thomas Craft Son Single M 31 1880 Labourer Binsted Hants >BONNER, Hilda Grace Daughter Single F 17 1894 Binsted Hants -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Registration District: Alton Sub District: Binsted Enumeration District: 4 Parish: Binstead Address: Bucks Horn Oak Farnham County: Hampshire ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Could be this death for Hilda Grace:
England & Wales, Death Index: 1916-2005
Name: Hilda G Brooks Birth Date: abt 1894 Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1964 Age at Death: 70 Registration district: Surrey North Western Inferred County: Surrey Volume: 5g Page: 686
Location might be useful for tracing William Alfred's death, which was part of Adam's original enquiry.
ADDED: This is a possible for William AS -
England & Wales, Death Index: 1916-2005
Name: William A S Brooks Birth Date: abt 1895 Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1958 Age at Death: 63 Registration district: Surrey Northern Inferred County: Surrey Volume: 5g Page: 382
