By 1795 the family had moved to Douglas where William enlisted in the "Manx Fencibles". His enlistment record describes him as having "fair complexion, grey eyes and fair hair". A letter from Robert Cally to the family of John Creetch in December of 1781 mentions that he, Robert, had served with William on the smack owned by Mr. Tumman.
