Clerkenwell came under Holborn.Births Mar 1872 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BISHOP William James St. Giles 1b 527 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Jun 1872 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bishop William Henry Islington 1b 357 Bishop William Henry Hackney 1b 433 Bishop William Patrick Poplar 1c 685 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Sep 1872 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ???????BISHOP William Frederick Holborn 1b 639 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Dec 1872 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BISHOP William Whitechapel 1c 387 BISHOP William Francis Strand 1b 587 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Mar 1873 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bishop William Pancras 1b 109 Bishop William Alfred Lambeth 1d 440 Bishop William John St. Saviour 1d 10 Bishop William John St. Geo.

I am saying that that 1881 Censu I put on is a possibility for your William. Back in the 1880's a lot of people only gave their Christian names when they got married.And if William Bishop 1873 only knew his Father was William not John William then thats the name he would have gave to the registrar/Vicar.
