 I found a record on Family search referring to William Williams born 1815 recorded in the Merchant Navy 1845 to 1854 (ref BT 113). It may explain why he was not on the 1851 census. Wondered if I could get more info on this. ManyThanks

The other interesting factor is that his wife Maria was recorded as a Widow in the 1861 census. I am beginning to believe that he died at sea as I have found no death records
