Predeceased by his parents; Tom and Mary Williams, brothers; Leo and George, sisters; Emma Jordan, Isabelle White, Anita De Cario, Alice Williams, Veronica Hynes, and Madonna Williams; and special nephews; Jimmy, Perry, and Tommy Williams.
Leaving to mourn with fond and cherished memories his sister Genevieve Rossiter, a large circle of nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends. Ambrose was a quiet man who lived a simple life, working for many years as a Fish Plant Worker, in his home community of Ferryland . He enjoyed his time spent with friends and family, especially spending many hours throughout the day in his shed in Freshwater, where his close friends stopped by for a chat. Ambrose was a beautiful soul who had the kindest heart and dearly loved his family and home in Freshwater, Ferryland. He left a lasting impression on anyone who was lucky to meet him and will be dearly missed.
For the past five years Ambrose lived at PVY nursing home and the staff of 3NE became a second family to him, providing daily care and compassionate care to him. Many thanks to the nurses, doctors, and staff at Pleasant View Towers for all that you have done for Ambrose over the past five years and providing comfort in his final days.

Notes
General:
From Enid O'Brien in an email on 19/06/02:

"If you need another reference (one which can be looked up on the computer) you can go into the wills that are shown on the Newfoundland's Grand Banks website and find one for Ann Costello, wherein she states that John Will Costello, lighthouse keeper, was Executor of her estate. Ann is John Will's mother. Interestingly, her estate was something like $112,000. - a goodly sum in 1917 (or even now for that matter!)."

Notes
General:
100418 from Miscellaneous Deeds and Wills Collection (GN169) at The Rooms:

Vol. 8, Page 499

This is an extremely complicated five page transaction, made complicated no doubt deliberately by the Justice of the Vice-Admiralty Court (Carter) to cover up what is in reality an unconscionable profit he is making from this series of purchases and sales. What transpired in as brief terms as are possible is that two women, Elizabeth and Ann Williams of Woolwich, Kent, England, sold a property and buildings that they owned on Kings Road in St. John's to Johnathan Ogden, Chief Justice of Newfoundland for £170 in June 1803. Ogden in turn sold the same property to William Carter for the same amount of money six months later (i.e. no profit made by Ogden). Now, in 1814, John Williams (relationship to the two ladies not stated) agrees to buy back the property from Carter for £500! A tidy profit of £330 in 11 years during a period of zero inflation. And lest anyone get the idea that this is a huge piece of real estate, it is described as having a frontage of 92' and a depth varying between 52' and 62' -- in other words a small building lot by today's standards. There were no flies on the wily Judge Carter!

Indenture Wm Carter to John Williams 9 Sept 1815

Three is a degree of uncertainty as to the identity of the three parties to this indenture other than William Carter. But since John Williams, the son of Lt. Col. George Williams and Mary Monier, is involved in another indenture with William Carter, and since he had a sister named Anne in England and a sister-in-law who would be known as Elizabeth Williams, I believe that this must be the family in question.
