Sir William's daughter, Mary, married Austin Smith, a partner in Simpson & Ashworth, Solicitors in Cannon Street. He was a widower, and she was his second wife. Austin Smith lived in Southport and used to commute to Accrington almost every day.
Talking of Rolls Royces and local solicitors, what about Dick Rowlands' enormous 2 seater 1926(?) Roller? He inherited it from his father (also a solicitor) who bought it from Lord Roseberry - allegedly because it was the only car he could get behind the wheel of.
