Biography
There has been no evidence found for this person's existence.
He is not the son of Thomas Cecil and Susan Oxenbridge (see research notes).
There has been no evidence found to link him as the father of William Thomas Cecil of Maryland.
Research Notes
Thomas Cecil was 56 years old in 1634.
Susan Oxenbridge was at least 42 years old in 1634 (see her profile for the calculation of her latest birth year), and may well have been some 5 or 6 years older.
There is no baptism for any Cecil child in the registers of the parish of Kelvedon, Essex from 1630-1650. This parish was where Thomas Cecil had property at this time, and from where his daughter Dorothy was married.
There is no baptism for a Cecil/Cissell child in the parish register of St Martin Stamford Baron, Northamptonshire for the years 1630-1640. Replaced the birthplace of "Burghley" (which is the name of the Cecils' house) with "England". St Martin was the parish church of the Cecil family. Fitz-Henry-9 22:09, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

William Thomas Cecil-259 is a person in his own right, with evidence for his existence but no evidence for a father.
As this William Cecil-1405 seems to be based on William Cecil-423 (also with no evidence) and also John Cissell-14 (with evidence), then perhaps the two Williams should be merged into John.
1. post in G2G suggesting he be detached as there is no evidence for the relationship
2. wait 3 days and then, unless someone has come up with good evidence, detach him, adding a research note that he has previously been shown as son of Thomas Cecil and Susan, but, in the absence of any good evidence, has been detached. I would put similar research notes in the parents' profiles. The research notes would include links to the relevant profiles.
I have done this with a number of alleged children of people in Magna Carta trails - and for some profiles outside the MC Project.
