John G. Williams (1913, Cardiff, Wales – 1997) was a Welsh ornithologist.[1] His collections date from 1954 to 1986, collecting mainly in East Africa and the eastern United States. The Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology in Camarillo, California, houses a lot of his aviary materials, in addition to 190 of Williams egg collections. An article from The Independent called "Obituary: J. G. Williams" written by Don Turner, states that Williams also worked at the National Museum of Wales as an ornithologist and taxidermist and also at the Coryndon Museum in Nairobi, Kenya, as a curator of birds from 1944 to 1966.[2]
