William's middle name was his mother's family name. He was born in Stratford, Essex and baptised at Brickfield Congregational Church. His early life is undocumented, in 1851 he was a grocer in Baldock Street, Ware, when his first son Charles was born.
At some time between 1859 and 1863 the family moved from Ware to Brunswick Lodge in Lambeth, in front of Brunswick Wharf which belonged to his brother Charles.
In the 1881 census he was documented as being a Manager of the Cornish Line, which ran from Nine Elms Station - a mere 100 yards away - down to Cornwall.
Ten years later in the 1891 census he was the Manager of Brick & Cement Wharf (ie Brunswick Wharf).
In 2005 Roger Vaughan, an expert on Victorian photographs, dated the photo opposite to circa 1889.
