    Notes:

    When WWII came along William signed on as a conscientious objector and so was detailed to work in a bomb disposal unit and was stationed at Horsham, Sussex, for at least part of the time.
    About 1942 there was a desperate shortage of coal so he went down the mines. After the war William returned to banking before feeling the call to the Baptist ministry. He did much of his theological training through correspondence courses with London University whilst still working in the bank. His first pastoral charge was in the Shetland Islands and it was here that his son Ronald was born. Pastoring at Burra Isle Baptist Church he bought an old army jeep and converted it into a bus for church use. That vehicle plus the nurse's car and the butcher's van were the only vehicles on the island. There was no electricity and no modern conveniences on the island. Despite this the family loved the experience of living there. It must have been quite a culture shock after living in Edinburgh.
    His next call was to the ship building town of Jarrow in north east England, where he was the minister of Grange Road Baptist church. After 5 years there he was back in Scotland at John Knox Street Baptist Church in Glasgow. Three years later, in 1957, he was called to Canada.
    He accepted a call to Canada arriving in Nova Scotia in March 1957 he was called to a two point charge in Yarmouth County, south western NS.
    William loved the area and swore he would retire to the area. But this was not to be.
    In 1959 the family moved to a ministry in Oshwa, Ontario. He was only there three short years before succumbing to a heart attack.

    William married Jemima Oman Wood on 15 Aug 1936 in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. Jemima was born on 31 Oct 1904 in Portobello, Midlothian, Scotland; died on 27 Oct 1979. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
