No source document or additional information exists.

Extracted birth or christening record for locality listed in the record. The source records are usually arranged chronologically by the birth or christening date.

you could compare the occupation on his father's marriage to the occupation of his father when he was born. It may not be the same, but if it is, it is a start.

1891 shows another possible family:-

Name: William Williams
Age: 16
Estimated birth year: abt 1875

John M Williams 17
Anne E Williams 19
William Williams 16
Lewis Williams 15
Robert H C Williams 13

His fathers occuption o n the marriage cert states LABOURER

If his occupation was Labourer, then looks to be the 1881 I posted with mother Mary, which will fit with the birth record.

I thought this was the 1881 family in 1891(three children's names and ages the same) but occupation doesn't fit?:-

Name: Richard Williams
Age: 45
Estimated birth year: abt 1846
Relation: Head
Spouse's name: Mary
Gender: Male
Where born: Liverpool, Lancashire, England

Civil parish: Wallasey
Ecclesiastical parish: St Hilary
County/Island: Cheshire
Country: England

Street Address:

Occupation: Wheelwright and Blacksmith

Sub-registration district: Wallasey
