William Long FRS, FSA (16 June 1747 – 24 March 1818) was an English surgeon.Born in Salisbury, Wiltshire, he was the youngest of ten children of Walter Long of Preshaw, Hampshire (1690–1769) (not to be confused with William's nephew Walter Long of Preshaw), and Philippa Blackall. He was eminent in his profession, and for thirty-three years, from 1784 to 1807, was surgeon at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London. He was appointed Master of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1800 and was among those who gave a donation to help fund their new surgical library. He was also on the College's list of first Governors, first Examiners of Surgeons and the first Court of Assistants. He wrote several papers, including one (unpublished) entitled "The Effects of Cancer".He lived in London's Chancery Lane, and later at Lincoln's Inn Fields, and developed close friendships with the painter George Romney, sculptor John Flaxman, and writers William Hayley, Isaac Reed and William Blake, who, like Long, were members of the Unincreasable Club, at nearby Queens Head, Holborn, London. Long sat for Romney as his first subject for a portrait which was done for his friend Hayley. Subsequently Long acquired many of Romney's paintings, which were eventually sold by Christie's on behalf of the family, in 1890.William Long purchased Marwell Hall near Winchester, Hampshire about 1798, and between 1812-1816 made considerable alterations, resulting in what is now the house as it stands today. He was a man of compassion and generosity, and when resident at his country seat away from London, he always gave his advice and medicine gratuitously to the poor of the surrounding neighbourhood.He and his wife Alice (daughter of Edmund Dawson of Wharton, Lancaster) had no children, and in his will Long made generous bequests to his nephews and nieces. After his death on 24 March 1818 his collections of preserved medical specimens and surgical instruments were donated by his executors to the Royal College of Surgeons Museum in London. Alice continued to live at Marwell Hall, and during the Owslebury riots of 1830 a mob of rioters, accompanied by John Boyes, a local farmer, arrived at the house. The mob demanded money from Alice and John Boyce demanded a reduction in the rents of her farm tenants, so they could pay their agricultural labourers higher wages. (Afterwards 245 men were arrested and brought to trial at Winchester. Two of the prisoners were hanged and Boyes was transported to Tasmania for seven years but was pardoned and returned home in 1835).William Long is buried in Salisbury Cathedral and his widow erected a monument to 'perpetuate the memory of a much esteemed husband'. Part of the epitaph, written in Latin, says:Alice died 18 September 1840, leaving numerous charitable bequests.

William Leworthy Goode Drew, CMG, (14 October 1826 – 14 July 1898) was an English-born auditor-general in colonial Queensland (a state of Australia since 1901).Drew was born in Broadstairs, Kent, England, to Capt. George Drew, RN and Caroline Fulford née Goode. George served during the Napoleonic wars and ended up as Superintendent at the Invalid Convict Station in Impression Bay, Tasmania.William was educated at the Blue Coat School and graduated from there to the Royal Navy at the age of 16. His final posting was Fleet Paymaster on the Australia/New Zealand stations at Sydney in 1853. On 30 January 1855 married Gertrude Jane Hely, daughter of Frederick Augustus Hely who had arrived in New South Wales as Superintendent of Convicts on the S.S. "Isabella" in 1823. After his payoff from the Royal Navy in 1856 he became a clerk in the NSW Railway Department in 1857 and within a few months was Secretary of the Steam Navigation Board. In 1858 he joined the Union Bank,; but his health failing he engaged in country pursuits. They moved to Brisbane, Queensland, and in 1862 was appointed Under Secretary of the Queensland Treasury.In October 1877 he was appointed Auditor-General of Queensland. He was a prominent citizen with a home "Minto" and estate at Toowong. He also served as Chairman of the local Road Trust, and as early trustee of St. Thomas' Church of England, among other things. J. B. Fewings wrote praising his "varied experience, his uniform temper, courteous manner, tact and influence, strong individuality, knowledge of human nature, discretion and sound judgement, extensive information, and ability to conceal want of knowledge on any subject." The choice of Drew as Queensland's third Auditor-General was regarded as a coup for the Treasury, creating the audit office as a subordinate department in all but name.Upon his retirement from the Treasury he was appointed Chairman of the new Civil Service Board in November 1889. The Premier of the day, introduced a "Drew Pension Bill" which allowed Drew to receive £1000 yearly salary and also allowed him to draw £250 of the £540 retirement allowance he was entitled to on retirement as Auditor General, and so the "Drew Pension Act of 1889 (53 Vic no. 13) came into being. He continued to serve the Government and the Queensland people until his death on 14 July 1898 at Toowong, Queensland. The Brisbane Courier wrote in its tribute that "Drew was warmly esteemed. He was kind but was termed a strong man, somewhat reserved with strangers."

William Thomas Lockwood (26 June 1868 – 29 August 1953) was an Australian cricketer who played a single first-class match for Western Australia during the 1898–99 season.Born in Geelong, Victoria, Lockwood emigrated to Perth, Western Australia, sometime in the late 19th century. In grade cricket matches, he played for the West Perth Cricket Club, where he was a leading batsman. Lockwood's only match at first-class level came against South Australia, during its tour of Western Australia at the end of the 1898–99 season. In the match, played at the WACA Ground in early April 1899, Lockwood opened the batting with Arthur Hoskings in both innings, recording a duck in the first innings and 21 runs in the second innings. In the first innings, he was particularly troubled by the bowling of future Test cricketer Joe Travers, who eventually had him caught at point by Fred Hack. Lockwood's second innings produced a notable incident. He hit a ball from Robert Homburg to square leg and ran five runs, and then completed another two runs from an overthrow. He and Hoskings thus ran seven runs off a single ball, in total combining for a 39-run opening partnership before Lockwood was dismissed by Victor Hugo.Although not playing at state level again, Lockwood remained involved in cricket well into the early decades of the 1900s, and played in a veterans' match as late as April 1930, which included former teammate Ted Bishop. He died at the Hawthorn Hospital, in Mount Hawthorn (a suburb of Perth), in August 1953.

William Marshall (or William Leonard Marshall) (born 1944, Australia) is an Australian author, best known for his Hong Kong-based "Yellowthread Street" mystery novels, some of which were used as the basis for a British TV series.In the Yellowthread Street series, the detectives of the Yellowthread Street police station in fictitious Hong Bay, Hong Kong – DCI Harry Feiffer, a European born and raised in Hong Kong; Senior Inspector Christopher O'Yee, half-Chinese, half-Caucasian American, and all neurotic; and the ever-bickering team of Inspectors Auden and Spencer – attempt to find the rational basis for inexplicable and seemingly bizarre crimes. The Yellowthread novels show the influence of Ed McBain in their overlapping plotlines, snappy dialogue, world-weary detectives and often-difficult civilians.Marshall's novels manage to juggle violence, suspense, and slapstick humor in his twist on the police procedural form. He has also written two mystery series based in Manila and late-19th-century New York City, the latter featuring City Detective Virgil Tillman – New York City's "first thinking detective" – and his partner, patrolman Ned Muldoon of the Strong Arm Squad.

William Southcombe Lloyd Webber CBE (11 March 1914 – 29 October 1982) was an English organist and composer, achieving some fame as a part of the modern classical music movement yet commercially facing mixed opportunities. Besides his long and prestigious career, composing works ranging from choral pieces to instrumental items and more, he is known for being the father of both fellow composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and virtuoso cellist Julian Lloyd Webber. He also notably served as a teacher, instructing pupils on music theory at the Royal College of Music for a time.Lloyd Webber was born in London. The son of William Charles Henry Webber, a self-employed plumber, he was fortunate, from a musical point of view, that his father was a keen organ 'buff' who spent what little money he had travelling to hear various organs in and around the capital. Often he would take his son with him and, before long, young William started to play the organ himself and developed a keen interest that bordered on the obsessional.By the age of 14, William Lloyd Webber had already become a well-known organ recitalist, giving frequent performances at many important churches and cathedrals throughout Great Britain. He won an organ scholarship to the Mercers' School, later winning a further scholarship to study at the Royal College of Music, where he studied with Ralph Vaughan Williams and gained his FRCO diploma at nineteen. Because there was already another student at the college with the name William Webber, William continued to use his second middle name 'Lloyd' from then on as part of his name.
