William Urwick the younger (1826–1905) was an Anglo-Irish nonconformist minister and antiquarian chronicler.
Born at Sligo on 8 March 1826, he was second son of William Urwick the elder (1791–1868), nonconformist divine, and his wife Sarah (1791–1852), daughter of Thomas Cooke of Shrewsbury.
From Dublin he went on to the Lancashire Independent College, Manchester, where he studied (1848–51) under Robert Vaughan and Samuel Davidson.
Still living in London, he became in 1880 minister of Spicer Street chapel in St. Albans, where he rebuilt the Sunday schools, improved the church premises, and undertook temperance and other social work, resigning in 1895.
[1] Urwick married on 1 June 1859 Sophia (1832–1897), daughter of Thomas Hunter of Manchester.
