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!

Deb
It must be something to do with the name 
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 
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
