Life story

Life story

Ferdinand Hedworth Williamson was a Justice of the Peace and a Deputy Lieutenant. 

 

He was born in Brighthelmstone, Brighton to Henry William Williamson and his wife Mary Browne and baptized 4 February 1835. He had three siblings: Augustus Henry, Louisa Mary Anne and Florence Isabela Augusta. Their father died in 1841 and both Ferdinand and Augustus served in the army.  Ferdinand served in the King's Own 4th Regiment.

None of the siblings married but they lived close to each other, often in the same household.

Ferdinand served as a Deputy Lieutenant for Sussex and was also a Justice of the Peace. 

Ferdinand was 'a follower of the turf' and was known to be in money difficulties in respect of horses.

Ferdinand suffered ill health for some time and was living in Worthing at the time of his death although his main home was in London.

He was originally buried in Heene Cemetery Worthing on 5 January 1893 in a service conducted by Heene's curate, Rev Eckett.  He was reburied in Brompton Cemetery, Kensington on  1 November 1895 in family grave with his siblings, Augustus Henry; Louisa Mary Anne; and Florence Isabela Augusta.
