Notes - The only Gloucester St. near Lambeth appears to be in Pimlico to the North of the River Thames. This is some way from the church where he was baptised and in particular there would have been closer churches. The Vicar just wrote "Gloucester St" so it would be expected to have been close by, but perhaps he just wrote down Gloucester St without further discussion.
He does appear in the 1851 Census with his parents, but with an age of 6, and as a scholar. If the enumerator heard the age wrong, he would surely not have got the occupation wrong. Does this mean that there was another William born (when our William was 13?) Or was there a family bust up?
