This looks to be his bio www.thekingscandlesticks.com/webs/pedigrees/720.html

Added: Sorry, Jamjar! You had linked this already  :P

The 1861 census entry you mention shows him born at St Kitts.

Thank you all for your interest and replies. WW was born in St Kitts and that story is fairly deeply researched. I am interested in him in the census as a steward and cook and on the ship White Star. Some have the opinion that this was a naval ship but I have doubts because if it was everyone should have had their ratings marked on the form and where are the rest of the crew. There was a sister ship to the Titanic called White Star, and it sank off Ireland. Certainly would have had more crew than this small number. I look forward to any suggestions.

     Thank you very much Mckha489 for your reply. I do think that you have sorted out the question as to William W Julius being in the Royal Navy or not. The census didn't come up to naval standards of name, rank, occupation etc and so few men. I think this is how he found his way to Australia. Again my thanks

I always thought ( I could be wrong) that the White Star was the shipping LINE, and Titanic was one of the ships belonging to it? A very very distant relative had some involvement with the founding of the line, I believe.... (Mr H T Wilson)
Threlfall (Southport), Isherwood (lancs & Canada), Newbould + Topliss(Derby), Keating & Cummins (Ireland + lancs), Fisher, Strong& Casson (all Cumberland) & Downie & Bowie, Linlithgow area Scotland . Also interested in Leigh& Burrows,(Lancashire) Griffiths (Shropshire & lancs), Leaver (Lancs/Yorks) & Anderson(Cumberland and very elusive)
