Hi!

My great-great grandfather Charles Williams was born in Northern Ireland but worked on or for Fleet Street papers most of his career as an editor and war correspondent. He is said to have written under the pen name "Fleet Street" in some publications in Ireland.  Does anyone have access to this publication so I could read what he wrote?

Fleet Street The Irish book lover , Vol. IX, p. 13, August-September, 1917

His Wikisource page is

Thank you in advance.

Hi!

I am trying to learn anything about Francis Austin Ward Williams (my 2nd great-uncle) and any descendants.

He was born in July 1865 in Clapham, Surrey.

His father was war correspondent, Charles Williams and his mother was Georgina Gould Ward.

He had one brother, Fred Williams, the Canadian journalist and historian.
