William Travers — County Limerick, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom William Travers was born in County Limerick with an escape plan involving a canoe and a bad map.

William Walsh — County Waterford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom William Walsh in County Waterford is where an archbishop of Halifax was born, and his family tree is mostly made up of people he invented to make sure nobody could ever accuse him of having bad company.

William Whitla blue plaque — County Antrim, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Sir William Whitla blue plaque marks a physician and philanthropist who likely had a very nosey neighbour keeping an eye on his medical practice.

William Woodburn — County Wicklow, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom William Woodburn’s old birthplace in County Wicklow makes a terrifying groaning noise every night just to scare off the crows who try to nest in its branches.

William Workman — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom William Workman ran Montreal from this tiny bit of Antrim earth, which feels like a massive exaggeration. He probably practised his mayoral speeches to a very unimpressed sheep in the nearby field.
