My grandfather was Charles & he & his came ,originally from The Boston area As all good Irish emigrants did. I am sorry, I can find no William's. Though as I dig I may find a William or two. The part about the police fits though, all mine were either cops or farmers. 1 F. B. I. Thanks for writing. I will let you know If I find anyone else. I have dropped a note to a Gifford that is a council member at Salt Lake City. There may be something for you there. I'll let you know if there is.
