Second child born to Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and Percy Bysshe Shelley. See his mother's entry in DNB. He died from Malaria in Rome. Godwin records his birth on 24 January 1819: 'william, nepos'. 'Nepos' translates as grandson. On 26 June of the same year, 'Letter of nepos', records the letter conveying the news of William's death. It also seems likely that Godwin records a visit from Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and William in February 1817 before they depart for Marlow.
