And do google Old Buckenham for the village website.

This may help, possible bap for sister of William, note dads job (New Buckenham runs on from Old Buckenham and as they are baptised at a methodist church it may well be same family)

Just seen you have Wm's marriage cert and dad is John :( Still, worth keeping this stuff on file as bit of a coincidence re area and occupation)
