Alfred Walter Williams

With the improved fortunes of Edward Williams' family, they moved in 1846 from Cromer Street to 32 Castelnau, Barnes in Surrey.

Alfred had a close friendship with his brother Sidney Richard Percy and bride, and he boarded with them in 1857 for a while at their home Florence Villa, in Wimbledon.

He is recorded in the 1861 census as boarding with Mr and Mrs Fitzsimon and in 1870 was at Mead Vale in Redhill, Surrey.

In 1895 he had moved to 40 Croydon Road, Reigate, close to his brother, Arthur Gilbert who lived in Limpsfield.

He counted amongst his friends Charles Davidson RWS (1820–1902) and a number of other noted artists including Samuel Palmer and the Linnell family.

He was a landscape painter in oils and occasionally watercolor and painted in a similar style to his brother Sidney Percy.
