How can I verify the birth of an ancestor?
He has the same name as a younger sibling who has two middle names and was born five years before before the listed mother. I have tried to find a second marriage without any success.

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
You indicate that the Ancestor has the "... has the same name as a younger sibling who has two middle names and was born five years before before the listed mother ..."
Question(s):
Did the younger Sibling with the same (obviously, First 'Given'/'Christian' Name) DIE; before, the Birth of the Ancestor?
When you 'say' "...before the listed mother ...", what exactly do you mean?
Please advise/explain.

Thanks for responding ! The two brothers died in the same year. When I say listed mother I mean the mother of the younger of the two. She could be the mother of both but she did not marry their father until five years after the first William was born.

That helps.
Question: What 'Locality' (ie, Place, County/Shire, State, Country); and, what 'Time Period'.?

Now that we have a 'Place' and 'Date' ...
Just a thought ...
If you were not already aware ...
There are 'Groups' in this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum, that include "New Hampshire" in the USA.
Perhaps, you may consider "Joining" those 'Groups', becoming a member; and, then, asking for (suggested research) help/assistance.
The members of those groups are only to will to provide, help/assist, where they can.
You could get lucky.
Here are a couple of those 'Groups':
New England Genealogy Research
https://community.familysearch.org/en/group/134-new-england-genealogy-research
And ...
The good old, 'standby' ...
United States Genealogy Research
https://community.familysearch.org/en/group/198-united-states-genealogy-research
Many of the 'Groups', have been a little quite, of late, with the recent "Move", to the NEW Platform, of this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum - it has been a SIGNIFICANT "Change".
Hopefully, many of the 'Groups' will pick-up again, as time goes on.
I hope this helps, somewhat.
Good Luck.
