Hello Nivard, Thank you for your reply. Any informaiton is a great help especially about Thomas Sturge Williams. The only information I had about him was from the 1891 census and a snippet from a letter his sister Margaret Williams wrote in 1936 from the Gold Coast. Thomas (1874-1918) Edward Hewett (1878-1954) Philip Ewart (1882-1952) Williams all served in during WWI. They were the sons of Rev. Philip and Sarah Eliza Hewett Williams. Sarah Eliza Hewett (1849-1892) was a grandaughter of Rev. Thomas Burchell. According to the Margaret Williams' letter, Thomas died of malaria,after the war in Mesopotamia. My information about the Sherwood Foresters comes from the wedding article (naturally not dated) or their sister Lillah Williams (1888-1957)to Cadet Eric Edward Harden, Royal Garrison Artillery. Captain E.H. Williams Sherwood Foresters is mentioned as a guests. The only other information about him is from the 1891 and 1901 census where he is listed as teacher in London. He died in 1954 in Fordingridge, Southhampton. I'll contact the person you mentioned and ask if he might have some information. Thank you again for the leads and information. Susan Edmonds-Boston-USA
