Certainly a possibility.

I can't find nothing on him only that whst he recorded what his father is on the marrage. But I can't read it tho.

I wonder if that's his parents in Kent then and he stayed with grandparents !!!

Class: HO107/482/5//24;  p40

1841    census  William and family  are  in Dartford ,   maybe  John was  ill , so  stayed with  grandparents ,  when William moved to  Kent

Now there must be a older Child for William

WILLIAM Rufus, Bachelor, Iron Founder, abode Overy St, Father WILLIAM, Occp Iron Founder, married Rebecica SAUNDERS, 8 April 1844, Holy Trinity, Dartford
(FreeREG)

Now 1851 William is born c 1820, Worcester, Worcestershire
Rebecca c 1822 Dartford, Kent

I was hoping William would be born Shropshire!

See reply #4.  William was born Madely, Shropshire.

I think the Willaim bn Worcester marrying Rebecca is different from the William bn Madely marrying Mary.
Mary also came from Madely (also reply #4).

[trish1120]

I meant William Rufus c 1798 born Madely Shropshire is possibly the Father of William 1821 born Worcestershire who married Rebecca Saunders.
A Mary Rufus a a marriage witness.
