Where was the younger William in 1901? What birthplace is given? Does that confirm your information, - or provide another lead? Where was he in 1891, With his family? Can you find a suitable William KING, senior in the 1881 census. Perhaps he was a quarryman then? If you follow him in 1891 and 1901 you might know if it's the right family.
