NSW - William Blackman WILLIAMS

[scotslink]

Good afternoon,


I am looking to find out when William B WILLIAMS left the UK and went to NSW.

He was born 1919 Bristol and disappears after the 1851 census (I did find his wife & child staying with wife's brother in 1861).

I have had an email of a distant cousin, who is related to William, who told me he married Emma RUSSELL in Australia in 1864 and went on to have about 6/7 children, one of whom was called Arthur Rutley Williams, c1870 although she doesn't know when he arrived or when he died....

really appreciate if someone could locate him for me.

Many, many thanks

Hi there,

There is a marriage registered in 1870 in Victoria, for a William WILLIAMS and and Eliza RUSSELL # 323

Do you have your chap's parents names?  This can be helpful info when looking for migrants to any of the six colonies.

Cheers,  JM

A bit of extra info from family trees to help in looking for a death (the OP can correct this if it is wrong) - William's parents were William WILLIAMS and Harriet EYLES and in 1851 his occupation was 'Architect'.

Age is certainly not a match - this Wm born c1830...if it is your person of interest, he obviously told a few fibs.

I hope this isn't him, something drastic would have happened if it is:

BALLARAT, TUESDAY. 

A PITIFUL DEATH. — An elderly man, of whom little is known, died at Pootilla to-day, under   circumstances of a pitiful nature. He was found wandering aimlessly round a paddock, bent double with pain and in an enfeebled condition.......The deceased, who had only a few coppers in his possession, had told Hunter that he suffered from bronchitis, and had recently been an inmate of the Bendigo Benevolent Asylum.  A couple of English newspapers and a few letters bearing the name of William B. Williams were found among the unfortunate's belongings.

This was William Bethesda WILLIAMS aged 63 years.  Elderly at 63 ...I must be positively ancient.
