William Williamses
Having encountered a William Williams in connection with Pirltawardli, I came across a State Library photograph which says "[Caption on photograph] 'W.Williams / Arrived in the Signet (sic) 11th September 1836 and at Government Iron Stores Montefiore Hill' [On back of photograph] 'William Williams / Deputy Colonial Storekeeper'", and under "Historical information" says "William Williams was appointed High Constable on 5th January 1837 but the appointment was cancelled by July of that year. He was a brewer of Walkerville and also owned Victoria Hotel in Hindley Street. He had the lease of many hotels over the years. He married Jane Catchlove in July 1837. They had 8 children. Williams died 1858 at Sturt Street, Adelaide." It's possible that the State Library is wrong, in which case I can send them the info we have, but thought I'd post here (and on the First Fleet of South Australia talk page) first, just to check with whoever has done the original checking on this.
