William was prominent in local affairs and involved in the conversion of Moyses Hall into a museum. He was one of the leading proponents in opposition to the corporation plans to turn Moyes Hall into a Fire Station.

In 1901 he sold the business to Henry Isaac Jarman, and he and his family returned to London where he pursued his career as an artist and writer. He died aged 85 in 1930 after a motor accident on Christmas Eve in Blackheath.

The 1871 census indicates that Williams sister Hannah was listed as a photographic colourist.

 

By 1881 the census indicates that he employed 3 men and 1 boy. He also had a Nursery Governess a nursemaid and a servant
