He is referred to as > William Chamberlain Marsh by his descendants A possible birth registration could be that of William Chamberlain Marsh whose birth was registered at Wells in the June quarter of 1868. Source FreeBMD www.freebmd.org.uk If you obtain his birth certificate you should get information about his parents or at least information on his mother, if he was born before his parents married. I mention the latter because there is a registration for the marriage of Joseph Francis Chamberlain in Wells in the March quarter of 1869 whose possible bride could have been Mary Jane Marsh.
