Could the various birth places actually be Wangford?

Problem is we have two of them.

Wangford near Southwold on the coast is the larger village, theother one is inland west Suffolk near to Brandon.

Thank you Suffolk*sue,,
This could possibly be the person i am looking for, i cannot make sense of the different birth places, although another person has told me he was bapt 1804 Wangford but i have no way of checking if this is correct, i had hoped that some similar place would correspond with one of the birth places given but this looks unlikely.
So suffolkmawther its possible you could be right to.
Thank you to you both for your replies, i will keep going on this and take on board what you have gien me.

I went to check the baptism someone else has which is as follows 18 August 1805 Wangford but i do not know if this is correct or even where it came from.

Just to let you know, some kind person has pointed out that it should read Wainford, Nr Bungay.

Wainford is a hamlet in Norfolk, beautiful buildings around the old mill, go past on wayto visit a relative.

Thank you for finding this place, one of those boundary change places i would think, i never expected to find him in Norfolk but this is family history for you.
