In the 1841 census William was living in Illogan, employed as a copper-miner, with his father, step-mother Mary, her (Rogers) children and his brother Richard, and sisters Grace & Elizabeth.

He travelled with his wife, Lavinia and cousin, Walter Orwell.
Ian O'Brien stated that William travelled to New Zealand from Plymouth with his father and his father's new wife Mary Rogers, 2 sisters and brother in 1842.
This is supported by the manifest of the ship "Blenheim" which sailed from Plymouth, England on 2 July 1842 and arrived at New Plymouth, Australia on 19 November 1842. It seems, therefore, that he travelled to the New World twice in 1842 and 1857.
He was admitted to Amherst Hospital on 28 May 1871
