I think he probably is. Unfortunately you can't take the dates of birth off a census as true as they were rounded up and down by sometimes as much as 5 years.
I'm sure you will find if you ordered the birth certificate of the Richard Cardiff born in 1874 his parents are likely to be Richard & Catherine.
If that is the case then William was actually born in 1870.
I still think that there are some siblings missing as if Richard was born 1874 the next one in the family is Johanna in 1879, there is likely to be at least another one maybe two in between.
The only Richard Cardiff (senior) on the 1911 census is my one and he still had Thomas and Catherine living at home.
