Williams, Isaac, Rev, 1802-1865

Born in Wales, the son of a chancery barrister, educated at Harrow and Trinity College, Oxford, took Anglican Orders in 1829 and became Newman's curate at Littlemore in 1836, prominent Tractarian, but never converted. In 1842 married Miss Caroline Champernowne and became Thomas Keble's curate at Bisley, but was struck down ill in 1846 and never returned to active ministry, residing with his brother in law Sir George Prevost at Stinchcombe until his death.
