William notified the registrar of his father Charles's death in 1877. His residence then was noted as 28 Hill Street Springburn. He had been present where his father died.

William died in 1880, some time after his mother applied for parish relief in 1879.

He was aged 51 years, married but separated from his wife, and had one child. He was a slater by occupation and resided in Claythorn Street. His wife had a spirit shop. William had been born in Ireland.

His death certificate of 1880 recorded him as married to Annie McLennan, and by occupation a journeyman slater. His recorded age at death was 50 years. His father was deceased and his mother still living. ^{1 5}
