One of my brick walls has been William Blizard Williamson, his family and their ancestry;
- His wife Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) and
- His sons William Blizard and George Henry.
The younger son, George Henry was the father of Elizabeth Ann Willett who with her husband Everard William Willett adopted my mother, which makes William Blizard Williamson (senior) my Great Great Grandfather (by adoption).
This posts summarises what is and is not known about this family and what can be done to break down this brick wall! Essentially we know little about their Irish life or of their ancestors in Ireland.
