Hello! Have just finished some delving into this family myself, and thought perhaps you may like to compare my findings. The father of Harry Williams who married Constance Maria Oakley was Wellington Williams, born c. 1812 in Hastings, Sussex. Wellington married Louisa Cowell in 1843 in London. He was a linen collar manufacturer who eventually settled at Park House, Leyton, Essex, with his wife and large family. Their children included Wellington b c. 1848; Louisa Ann b c. 1849; Anna Maria b c. 1851; Minnie born 1852; Alfred b 1853; William Cowell b 1854; Edwin b 1856; Ellen Shaw b 1857; Harry b 1859 and Florence b 1864.
Brothers Alfred, Edwin,Harry and William all attended the Charterhouse School. William and Edwin also attended Pembroke College at Cambridge. Wellington,William and Edwin all became solicitors. Eldest daughter Louisa Ann died at Tunbridge Wells on 13 July, 1881, aged 35. Youngest daughter Florence married Edward Henry Higgins on August 27, 1903, and died August 21, 1934, in Cheshire.
Wellington Williams Senior died on February 7, 1892, of pneumonia following influenza, in his 80th year.
