As you do not have William on census with place of birth how do you know that you have the correct one ie born 1822 Eversdon.  Do you have the marriage between William & Harriet, what details does it give for him and his father

At reply number 3 you contradict yourself regarding william b 1822 and marrying 1837

Why don't you look at the original parish copies of marriages to compare signatures on the 1820 and 1837 events?

Pauline, you are right. I've crossed over both Williams..
Let's see timeline wise..
William elder marries 1st wife Sarah 1820
Son William born 1822
Daughter Edith 1826
William elder remarries 1837 to Mary Ann Sheldrick
Daughter Mary Ann born 1838
William elder dies between 1837 marriage and wife remarrying Henry Littlechild 1840

Factor in I need to prove the William who marries Sarah is the same one who marries Mary Ann. It stacks up but proving where I am at moment

Signatures an idea but travelling to see an issue at moment.

Just trying to sort this in my head - If William bn c1822 is your gt gt g'father who is your gt g parent that descends from him. 

Is this it from your other post

Son William 1822-1851 married Harriet Pett  (Sept qtr 1847)
Daughter Edith 1826 married Robert Sheldrick (Sept qtr 1854)

William Robinson / Robenson before marriage a mystery

Rosie
My gg grandfather is William Thomas born 1847. Son of 1822 William and Harriet Pett.

Baptisms at Great Eversden parents William & Sarah
William 9 June 1822
Edith 19 Nov 1826

Marriage of parents as previously stated
12 December 1820 to Sarah White.

William married Harriet Pett in 1847

I'll go back thru my records but 100% William who marries Harriet is the 1822 birth. Will add that his sister Edith & husband Robert Sheldrick are in 1881 census with Susan Sarah and her husband Albert Brown

There is a newspaper article Cambridge Chronicle and Journal 28 March 1840 about the estate of William Robinson the elder of Great Shelford which mentions a David Robinson so that is probably the one age 68.

Are you sure that the 1822 marriage to Sarah White wasn't the same William who married Mary Ann Sheldrick 

Do you link to the newspaper article?..

Thanks for the confirmation, yes Susan is with Robert & Edith in 1881 and William Thomas is with the Petts family in 1851.      It is starting to make sense now 

William & Edith were both baptised in Great Eversden.

When William marries Harriett Petts what information does it give for his father and who were the witnesses

I am not sure that the newspaper article is relevant.  Pauline & I were working off the information you originally gave with a marriage date of 1837 when it should have been 1847.

My GG grandfather was born in 1822 to GGG Grand father  William Robinson and Sarah White.

However I've just found a William a widower with father named William also marrying a Mary Ann Sheldrick in 1837.

1837 and 1847 marriages are different Williams
1837 is second marriage for William the elder to Mary annSheldrick
1847 is marriage of his son William born 1922
