Thomas Williams and his sister Elizabeth (who did not come on the Mayflower) are found in the records of Leiden, Holland, and belonged to the Pilgrims' church congregation there.  On 11 March 1616, Thomas witnessed his sister's marriage to fellow churchmember Roger Wilson, and in this record they are said to have originally come from Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England.  The parish registers of Great Yarmouth show Thomas' baptism on 12 August 1582, as well as his sister Elizabeth's on 9 January 1591/2.
