William Joseph Edkins

It appears that William Joseph Edkins (1843 - ?) is sometimes mixed up with Joseph Edkins (1849-1932)

Although there is a baptism record below, he is not listed on his father's Death notice when he died in 1899. Also he is not listed on the sibling Death Notice of Mary Binfield Edkins (1856-1921). Although she died in 1921 the notice was only filed in 1938 by her niece. There is no mention of William Joseph Edkins but there is a note that 2 brothers and a sister died in infancy. It is possible that William Joseph Edkins was one of them.
