Born Kingwilliamstown (now Ballydesmond), baptized Boherbue RC Parish. Father: George Stephen Williams of Kingwilliamstown. Mother: Mary Buckley of Islandave. Father died young and mother remarried (Daniel OLeary). John was the only sibling who had children. George Stephen's sisters Julia and Bessie went to Queensland Australia. I can trace George's father, John Williams, to Kingwilliamstown in 1850, living with his sister Elizabeth OBrien (I think her husband was a doctor or pharmacist), who was there with her mother Johanna in 1833. I do not know where John or Elizabeth were born. My grandfather John Williams earned his fare in England (so not in 1901 census) and emigrated from Queenstown in 1904 with a "cousin" Denis Fitzpatrick to join a "cousin" John McAuliffe in San Francisco - I have not yet found familial connections for either of these cousins.
