William Williamson, born in Bristol in 1872, was a English adventurer and oil company representative. After spells on sea voyages and trading in the Americas, he became a trader in camels and horses in Arabia, Iraq and Kuwait, then joining a Haji caravan to Mecca. He converted to Islam, taking the name of Abdullah Fadhil al Musselman, before taking his horse trading business to India.
