His parents moved to Bushey in about 1890 and, with their first child, lived initially at 107 Villiers Road. William was a grocer and pork butcher and by 1901, when his family had grown, they had moved to 97 Villiers Road. He and his wife had eight children, one of whom died during childhood. By the time of the 1911 census, William described himself as a tea grocer. William Henry, his second son, was then sixteen and still at school.
