I realise William Williams is a fairly common name in Wales ... I also realise your William may yet turn up in the Censii, that my suggestion might be just a wild goose chase and I'm sticking my nose in, but ...

If there's no sign of his death anywhere, here's a thought; - I had a friend, years ago, the last in a long line of William Williamses.  According his family lore, his gt-grandfather was born, married and had a family in Wales.  Then one day, he told his wife he was ducking to the shop to get milk for tea ... but he never went home; - he sailed to Australia instead!

ten years seems a hell of a wait for a cup of tea because he was back home in 1901 (his conscience must have got to him)

LOL, what a relief you found him!  My WW is long gone, and I don't know where his family are now, so they probably wouldn't have been any use to you!  Embarrassed

Deb

It must be something to do with the name Cheesy

In a Will i have William William was leant £50 & it seems he still owed  it & left up to the Kids to get it back. Would love to know the outcome.

Wonder if he went to OZ Grin

OH,he was from Pembrokeshire

Thanks Wozzle & Omega for the details of Will's family, still no sign of him in 91, possibly seeking work else where and in lodgings?. 

Deb's
Enjoyed being side tracked from a busy morning, loved the story, just typical of a Welshman, especially when the rugby is on, you know, where there's a Will, there's a way.  How I would love to find a fellow like that in my family tree, just imagine the stories one could tell the kids about old g.grandpa.

Best Regards to all, Roy
