Educated at Berkhamsted School and Pembroke College, Oxford. MA from Oxford 17 Oct 1631. Sixth Headmaster of Berkhamsted Grammar School for Boys (est. 1541.) on 8 Aug 1636. Went to Mr. Sturmey's house in Chancery Lane in London in the summer of 1643 where he became ill. He and his brother George may have gotten the plague there, where they died six months before their father.

William's burial record describes him as a minister. In 1636 he was appointed headmaster of Berkhamstead School, a position which he held for seven years. All his children were born in the headmaster's house and christened at St. Peters Church next door. William and his brother, George, went to London in 1643. Both died of the plague that year, George two months after William. Both were buried from Mr. Sturmy's in Chancery Lane.
