I see he was a sailor, there is a merchant seamens card for a William Devereux , fireman, born 25/05/1882 Wexford.
There is a photo too but there is no real way of knowing if its your William or not unfortunately.

familysearch has Irish civil registration index, but I can only find a William James Devereux born in Co Wexford in 1881
and a William without a middle name in 1882
