William Augustus Fawkener (c.1750–1811)〔(jamesboswell.info )〕 was a British civil servant and diplomat. ==Background== William Fawkener was one of the sons of Sir Everard Fawkener, a merchant and then British Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, who did not marry until he was aged 53, and thus died in 1758 while William was still young. His mother was Harriet daughter of Lieutenant General Charles Churchill. William was probably named in honour of the Duke of Cumberland, and served as a page of honour at the Duke's funeral in 1765.〔''Dictionary of National Biography'', s.v. Fawkener, Everard〕 His brother Everard also became a civil servant, holding the post of a Commissioner of Stamps from 1783 to 1803, obtained through William's influence.〔W. R.
