Hazeley Heath was in the parish of Heckfield.  Have you checked the Heckfield baptism register?  If you have, try the adjacent parishes.

Parish of Crondall

FindMyPast Baptisms (image/transcript)

7  Jul 1816, William, son of William and Sophia Vass, abode Dippenhall, father's occpn Labourer
10 May 1818, William son of Stephen and Anne Vass, abode Eveshott, father's occpn Game Keeper

FindMyPast Death (transcript only)
William Vass, age 2, place Crondall, buried 17 Jan 1819

The death record would appear to apply to the 1816 birth - although age is often suspect on records?

Thank you for looking - It does appear that the death matches the 1816 baptism. I did notice that some people have put those two records together in their tree thinking it was my William Vass. Another reason I am wary about this record.

The William Vass born to Stephen and Ann, 1816, can be found with them on the 1841 Census, age 22, carpenter?, born Hampshire, at Bowling Alley House, Crondall, Hartley Wintley. That the William Vass, baptised 1816, died in 1819, looking more likely?

I think you are correct we can rule that record out. :)

Outside the time frame but there is another Willam Vass, born Crondall, 22 Apr 1810, parents Samuel and Elizabeth.

Also noted several Vass baptisms in Finchampstead around 1816 but not a William. "Your" William is consistent re. YoB (1815) and PoB (Hazeley Heath) in both '51 and '61.

Have you found him in '41?

Yes found him but it’s been transcribed as Val instead of Vass (it’s very hard to read).

My question was unnecessary since your earlier post said you had him in '41!!

Trying to find out what happened to the William born 1810.

No Stress :)

I have had another day of searching and am still at a loss - I think the marriage certificate suggestion is the way to go.
