I don't think so.

Why not give us every scrap of info you have and we can have a look? 1911 might be a possibility with the marriage so close.

For Wm junior:
Who he married, when & where
YOB
occupation
where living

Wm sr - occupation

Names of witnesses

Jan

Researching:
Myatt, Hanks, Eccleston, Powell, Clungunford, Birmingham

No, it wouldn't give his birth place. Where did the marriage take place and how old did he say he was on the certificate? What was the father's occupation? Who were the witnesses? All of these details would help you to find the right William on the census. It's not going to be easy with a name like William Smith!!
