John Williams was born in Gwennap, Cornwall, in 1819. He was educated at Swansea Grammar School and afterwards studied at St Bartholomew's Hospital. He became interested in comparative anatomy and was elected Student Assistant at the Royal College of Surgeons in 1843. He accepted an appointment as Surgeon to the Honourable East India Company in 1847, and went to the Bengal Presidency. He served in India as Surgeon Major, then as Deputy Inspector of Army Hospitals until he retired. He died in 1878.
