Thanks Claire in Wales
Not sure if this is the one as it shows on Aus death cert a William as father but maybe the person reporting the details didn't know his grandfather.

Here is William Edward's birth registration.

The only way to be sure that you have the right parents is to buy this certificate.

Go to www.gro.gov.uk., click on Ordering Certificates Online. The GRO registration number is the set of 2 numbers to the right of Lewisham.

It will cost you £7, but as I said it is the only way to be certain.
