Thanks ,not sure about him though, our relative was called John Andrews Whittaker Williams and there is a marriage in 1883 for someone of that name, however I don't know why he would be in ST Saviour.
It seems our man was born in Chichester sorry.

Hi

Looking at further census records Ambrose W Lovell's wife is an Annie, a Harriet Watts is also boarding in the same household in 1891.

Have found a record in 1891 of

John A Williams b abt 1855 Chichester, Sussex
Katherine M Williams b abt 1858 Wolverhampton, Staffordshire
Kate E Williams b 1887 Wandsworth
Gertrude W Williams b 1890 aged 11 months Harrow, Middx

all living in Wealdstone.

Is this your John Williams?
Jones- Glyn Ceiriog, Chirk, Tryddyn, Ruthin, Wrexham, Surrey
Woodfine - Cheshire, Woolwich, Wrexham
Edwards & Hughes - St Martins, Hengoed, Selattyn
Trower & Billinghurst - Sussex, London, Surrey
Flexman & Sharpe - Sussex, Surrey
