I believe that this is correct. George and Betty’s first son was named George. This would follow the usual practice, still used to day, of the first son being named after his dad or fathers father the second son would then receive the unused name or be named after his mothers father. It seems more than a coincidence that their second son is called 'William long' (my 4 x g father). If they were going to use long just as a second name then why is it that George was not given this as a second name as opposed to William. Why was it that it was only William who was, it seems, to receive any form of a second name. I think that they could have quite litery named him after granddad! (it is possible that georges father was a william see the extended note under him)
There is it seems siblings of bettys called James, Jonathan, William and possible Hannah all names that they used.
Warminster is only 3.1 miles north west of SuttonVeny (spelt without the 'e') and the marriage is listed in the name of 'betty long' and George Adams
it should be noted that there is a betty long christened in 1773 in trowbridge but that there is a marriage listed also in trowbridge in 1798 to a john battle who (he) is presant in the 41 census but as a widow. towbridge is 7.6 milles north of warminster.
