Interest in the Williams Family Tree began when the Williams Family Bible that  originally belonged to my grandmother Susan Jane Williams (nee Osborne) was  brought down to Portsmouth.  In the front of the Bible is a Family Register  page written by my grandfather William Andrew Williams showing some of the  family ancestry that he had researched.  The Bible was a gift from my  grandfather to his wife Susan Jane.  Following visits to the Records Office in  Candie Gardens in Guernsey in 2001 and 2002 a lot of additional information was  gleaned.  However, during the 2002 visit it was discovered that another  relative had already undertaken research work some ten years earlier.  That  relative was Susan Dixon, granddaughter of Elizabeth Fanny Williams who was one  of William Andrew Williams older sisters.  Contact was made with Susan who  lived with her husband Eric in Broadstone, Dorset and a lot of  interesting facts, source information and photographs were exchanged.  Many  thanks to Susan for her considerable contribution to the information held on this website.

This site also covers my late wife Paulette`s family and includes Dennerley, Gould,  Kelsall, and Seddon family lineages.  There is still a lot of research to be  carried out.  The family had expressed some curiosity about believed links to  Richard John Seddon (former prime minister of New Zealand) and also to James  Harold Wilson (former UK prime minister) whose mother was Ethel Seddon.  The link to Richard John Seddon has now been established.

Any relatives wishing to contribute details of new family members, photographs,  dates or any other information for inclusion on this site are most welcome to  contact me.  Email: dlsmart@hotmail.co.uk

Hope you enjoy the site.  Please remember to sign the Guest Book above.
