Biography[]
Early life[]
William grew up in poverty, as his father had a severe disability, and thus could no longer work[1]. When his mother wrote the Bertrams for advice and aid, Sir Thomas sent career advice and help for Mrs. Price's sons and was very affable in that regard.
Career[]
His uncle was instrumental in the beginning of his career in the navy. He occasionally wrote to his sister.
