Will Miller converted to Judaism before marrying on 20th June 1920. His family did not want to know him, presumably because of his conversion.
Following a motorcycle accident, which he was lucky to survive, Will had a metal plate inserted into his head.
Will's two passions were dogs, and his garden. He used to attend to his garden every Sunday morning and at the same time bath his dog. His other hobby was boxing and he was a big fan of Max Baer.
Wife Annie had a miscarriage after falling over during trying to put up some curtains. They had no children.
