Perhaps he was not registered as Richard?
I'll look for other children.

I found a tree which says that William's parents were James and Sarah Ann, and that this is him on the 1939 Register, with dob 1 Apr 1916:

These are James's army papers - the list of children doesn't go up to 1916 but it does show that Sarah Ann's maiden name was Pattenden, and some of the other children match with the 1939 Register entry above.

So, it doesn't look likely that William J is Richard.
