Well my grandad was called Ernest bell so maybe there is a possiblity his dad was initially ernest and changed to william. Did they have any other children? If they had a child called norman and william to, then I would say yes, this could be right.

Ancestry shows the cross reference of that freebmd marriage of Sarah to be for an Ernest BELL.
Could this be your person later known as William?...I note he had a son Ernest.

My great grandad William Bell born about 1882 married a Sarah Barrett born 1882. They had 3 children, my grandad Ernest Bell 1922, Norman Bell 1920 and a son called William Bell who I believe was born about 1919 but could have been earlier. However, William who was born about 1919 died at the age of 7. I am trying to find out if he had a middle name, the year he was born, the date of his death & even cause of death. I would also like to try and find out my great grandads full name, I believe he had a middle name. Can anyone help me with this to?
