Jennifer, have you checked FreeBMD for births?

When was the "correct" William Alexander Bass born? There are lots of records for William A Bass.

Could one of them be a nephew? If W.A.B had a brother then that brother may have named his son for him.

Does anybody know how I can ascertain if there is more than one William Alexander Bass. My grandmother's brother was born in Debden Essex and had three wives to my knowledge. Through a 1919 marriage cert. of another family member(his niece) a lady appears as a witness - Beatrice Rumfitt and ten years later she marries a William Alexander Bass who is suddenly about 20 years younger - and has named his elder brother as his father - Henry Frederick Bass (that man did die in 1900). I have a feeling it is the same man and I just cannot find another one with that exact name. Help please. Something is just not right here. What am I missing.
regards, jennifer
