Stanley Williams was born in Llanhilleth. Monmouthshire, Wales. Father - Charles Adrian Williams - born 1860 : Linton, Herefordshire Mother - Fanny Williams (her maiden name as well !!) - born 1861/2 : Lydbrook, Gloucestershire Stanley Williams had 8 brothers :- Edgar, Reuben, Evan, Harry, George, Albert, Ron and Len And 5 sisters :- Maud, Mabel, Harriet, Nell and Lena Family history...............from his sister Lena (20+ years ago), was that Stanley was in WW1, came back home to Wales on leave and his father was so shocked by what he saw with all the lice (or heard about the trenches) burnt his uniform and sent Stanley off to Australia. I believe that Stanley Williams might well have married someone called Christine. Is there anyone out there who has more information ? Sorry, but no idea exactly where in Australia he went. Any information would be great - and if anyone can spare a few minutes and do a check on his details with any Australian sites, that would be absolutely super - and VERY much appreciated. I've always wondered what happened to Stanley Williams. I'm the youngest daughter Lena's Grandson. Thank you Simon
