I would seriously consider getting a birth certificate for one of the children before you commit to adding this info to your tree.
It will give you the mother's maiden name and then you can look for a marriage.
Both of the William Linnetts born in Naseby are quite specific about their birthplace in each census. Your William states Northampton every time so I think you are in danger of following the wrong line.
