It has been a tradition for many years that the eldest boy each generation is named
William.
So my Dad was a William, he was born in 1902 in the Coventry area, exactly where I do not
know.
His dad, also a William I think was from somewhere near Coventry, certainly in
Warwickshire. I think he was born in the 1870's or 1880's.
Quite possibly there is a connection, if so then please let me know.
regards,
Dave Cashmore
