Biography

Along with his younger sister, he was the only sibling to have survived to adulthood, since his brothers all died before the age of 23 years old.

He worked as a Engine Fitter at Rolls Royce, in Filton, though prior to this he worked at the Bristol Areoplane Company in Filton, which he got to travel to Scotland and Ireland with, and that might possibly be the way he met his first wife.

He married Eileen Meehan, together they had four children. They divorced sometime in the 1970s. It is unknown when, where and how they met and married.

He married Elizabeth Carroll in Bristol, in 1988, together they had four children. Their marriage ended with Williams death. Williams was a friend of Carroll's parents Tony and Kathleen Young, who he used to drink with at the Rainbow Club, in Stoke Gifford, which has since been turned into a Co-Op, years after it was known as the Parkway Tavern.

He died in Bristol, in 1996, aged 70.
