A few more thoughts on possible marriage of William's parents:
Baby William's surname in church register was Higginbotham. Presumably his mother expected/hoped  to marry his father legal.

There is no such implication. The priest simply recorded the father's name.

Was it usual for an illegitimate baby to be recorded in a baptism register with father's surname rather than mother's surname?
