William Williamson, my great uncle, in 1902 was MD of Rex Motor Cycles, in 1911 he started Williamson Motor Company and produced the Williamson flat twin - any information or decendants? acw |

Their address was 77 Moor St which still exists, though not sure if this is the same building. This address was also used by Allard between 1899 and 1902, and later was used by Clarendon. |

Annie Catherine (actually Catherine Annie), my great grandmother
Leonard William, my grandfather
Elizabeth, great grand-aunt
Herbert and John, great grand-uncles
Sidney, 1st cousin twice removed
I've tracked all my male Williamsons from the start of the 19th century, and sadly there's no link to the William, subject of this thread |

They have Catherine/Annie spelt with a 'K', probably the very same person since the address tallies.

Fitted with a 2 seater body, it was similar in appearance to contemporary Morgans. The war interrupted all Williamson production and car-building did not resume when peace returned. However the firm's motorcycles would remain on the market until around 1920" |

Found information about William Williamson's family from this website (www.gracesguide.co.uk) - from this I found his burial record and located his grave. It's in the Old part of the London Road Cemetery (North Section) - [Square 23/26, Grave 2 (just opposite the main entrance to the Anglican Chapel)].
