How do I determine if someone is mine?

Hi All

I have a William Parsons who married Ann Clifford in Pendock, Worcestershire in 1775. Record states both of the parish.

I have found the baptism of Ann but not for William. I did find a marriage for a John Parsons to Rebecca Lane at Pendock on the 20th December 1753....record states both were of the parish of Chaceley, Worcs.

I have looked at Chaceley and there is a baptism for a William Parsons on the 20th March 1757, son of John & Rebecca.

Is there any way to determine if this William Parsons baptised at Chaceley, is my William Parsons? Or is it guesswork?

Any guidance, much appreciated :)

Many thanks
Claire
