He was young and restless. Ambition and youth’s call to adventure he could no longer be content in himself for something was urging him to go. Finally deciding to go to London, in 1833 he left his father’s house and followed his trade of cabinetmaking.
In London there were many discouragements for a young man starting a business on his own. He experienced both good and bad, but he made many friends for he was a happy person full of sunshine. It was while he was there he met Jane Heslop, a beautiful girl whom he married 8 December 1834. She became a great comfort and a soul companion to William.
While he was in London, he also was persuaded to join the followers of Robert Owen’s Socialists. He wasn’t completely satisfied and soon things began to slack-- work slumped and it got from bad to worse in London. So, he left in 1844 and went back to Durham county with his wife.
Back in Durham he was employed to Bitchbun Colony Works to oversee the group of joiners they had employed there. After staying there for a year he moved to New Castle and worked and a cabinetmaker in Mr. Robson’s Cabinet

He was apart of politics; he was a congressman in New York and ran for office as a liberal republican in 1872, but died in November 1872. (Editors) In his newspaper he wrote about his views on the movement westward, he saw the land out west as an opportunity for unemployed and young people.
He was a minuteman for the local militia to help stop the British. He protested against the British. Since he loved to read and write, he wrote poems and stories. Those poems and stories would reach out to people about what the British are doing. Also it would tell what life was life in the war.

Every thing that he did had an impact on someone.
“He had, by a Misfortune common enough to young Fellows, fallen into ill Company; and amongst them, some that mad a frequent practice of Deer-stealing, engag’d him with them more than once in robbing a Park that belong’d to Sir Thomas Lucy of Cherlecot, near Stratford. For this he was prosecuted by that Gentlemen, as he thought, somewhat too severely; and in order to revenge that ill Usage, he made a Ballad[4] up on him…that he was oblig’d to leave his Business and Family on Warwickshire, for some time, and shelter himself in London.”
