I have been looking for a William Pike borne 1764. I find his marriage in 1792 and again on the 1841 census. I am trying to find his birth record but have found 7 William Pikes borne that year. The later records seem to show he lived in the Pewsey area of Wiltshire.
As 3 birth records show as Devon, 2 as London then 1 for Berkshire and 1 for Hampshire I have assumed that, at that time, it is more likely that the birth was close to the part of Wiltshire in which he later lived. That would be the Berkshire (Hungerford) and Hampshire (Tangly) births. But how do I find which is the correct William?
