I am looking for information on Thomas Williams (my maternal grandfather). All I know of him is that he was a steelworker in the Black Country in the 1920's-30's (but also in Glasgow and South Wales). Probably born around 1890 in the Black Country. Married Ann Sophia Clark(e) probably during the 1st World War. Sophia's parents are George Clark (b1869)/Harriet Wills (b1868 Southam, Warw. or Napton, Warw.) Both were originally boatpeople, but George became a 'Milling Striker'. The Wills were boatpeople from about 1800, based in Warwickshire.
