Research Into The Early Family and Origins of

Thomas Williams of Gosport, & later of Nottingham
born 27 May 1753 at Gosport - d. 6 Jan. 1804 

( Some of the persons whose names appear more than once on this page are colour coded to aid the reader. )

Thomas is the forefather of many thousands of descendants world-wide, however very very little is know to date of his forbears, and practically nothing of his father. These pages are to highlight the life of Thomas in the 18th Century to both present an accurate account for his descendants, and to attract attention from those who may be able to give information on his father (another Thomas) and other forbears.
