If the marriage is correct, then his father was John and he was of "full age" so he's not the one born 1856.:

Another possible alternative birth???

Births Jun 1853 (>99%)
Hickerson William Warwick 6d 411

From his age at marriage, your William would appear to have been born in 1846.


There is this one born in 1846, but his father was Richard:

England, Select Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 about William Henry Higgerson
Name: William Henry Higgerson
Gender: Male
Baptism Date: 8 Mar 1846
Baptism Place: West Street, St. Mary Warwick, Warwick, England
Father: Richard Higgerson
Mother: Catharine Higgerson
FHL Film Number: 367766
Reference ID: p175


But if the 1856 one is your William, then he was only 15 at marriage.

Two William Higgerson births:

HIGGERSON William Henry Warwick 16 570 [EDIT: No that one's father was Richard - see next post.]

Births Jun 1856 (>99%)

There are these 2 possibilities in 1861, both with father John:
