Our William above was, I believe, actually baptised at Elmden 7 sep 1766. The other one was baptised 26 May 1765 and there was a William buried 17 Sep 1765 in Essex. Both were sons of a John and Mary. The inference is that the one born in 1765 died in September and our William was born after that. Ie sep 1766.
