Notes for Orlando Cyprian Williams C.B., M.C.
His birth index:
Name: Mother's Maiden Surname:
WILLIAMS, ORLANDO CYPRIAN CAMPBELL
GRO Reference: 1883 J Quarter in MARYLEBONE Volume 01A Page 630
___________________
In 1912 it looks like he married either Gladys M Honey or Alice I Waterlow/Pollock. The 1939 Register might help:
They were at 35 Addisland Court, West Holland Park, Kensington:
Marital
First name(s) Last name(s) Birth date Sex Occupation status Schedule Schedule sub number
Orlando C Williams 04 May 1883 M Principal Committee Clerk House Of Comm M 250 1
Alice I Williams 15 Jun 1876 F Unpaid Domestic Duties M 250 2
Annie Johnson 21 Jan 1893 F Cook S 250 3
1939 ref: RG101/0304F/018/36
So his wife was definitely Alice I Waterlow/Pollock, indicating that she had been married before.
__________________
I wonder if this rare combination of Williams and Pollock could be a daughter of theirs? It may need a birth certificate to clarify the matter.
Name: Mother's Maiden Surname:
WILLIAMS, ELIZABETH MARY POLLOCK
GRO Reference: 1913 S Quarter in KENSINGTON Volume 01A Page 153
There are hundreds of records for Elizabeth Mary Williamses. His will may clarify the matter too - and a lot cheaper.
However in his will he twice mentions his daughter Rowan Mary Williams, who married Patrick Walter Low.
So: Can we find the birth of Rowan and her marriage to Patrick.
There was no Rowan Mary birth in the british isles from 1910 to 1950.
There was a Patrick Walter Low birth in 1910 in Hants.
No marriage in Britain of any Patrick Low to any Williams.
Try The World. No marriage of Elizabeth Mary or Rowan Mary Williams to any Low.
But she did die in 2004 in Kent and is shown as born in 1913:
Name: Year of Birth:
LOW, ROWAN MARY 1913
GRO Reference: DOR Q3/2004 in KENT (5641E) Reg KDE3 Entry Number 104
Her her husband’s address as executor for her father was Ashford, Kent.
Did she leave a will? Yes.

Good value too.
His will had two codicils. Each codicil changed the executors. The first Codicil followed the death of his wife Alice Isabella and acknowledged the marriage of his daughter . The second codicil also referred to followed the marriage of his daughter Rowan Mary to Patrick Walter Low.
His executors at death were John Cyril Leslie Sweet, solicitor, and his son-in-law Patrick Walter Low.
He also named his two sisters Gwendolen Meta Williams and Violet Helen Williams and they witnessed his second and last codicil.
The dating was:

1st codicil 2 July 1953
2nd codicil 17 January 1963
No other relatives were named. Though the possibility of his daughter having children was included in the original will.

Notes for Orlando Cyprian & Alice Isabella (Family)
Their marriage index, showing the problem of her name:
Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page
Marriages Jun 1912 (>99%)
Pollock Alice I Williams Kensington 1a 271
Waterlow Alice I Williams Kensington 1a 271
Williams Orlando Waterlow Kensington 1a 271
Williams Orlando Pollock Kensington 1a 271
An explanatory note is: “COMMENT Spouse name is given as Waterlow or Pollock”
So we need to plonk around for earlier records to see what was going on.
