William was the son of Thomas Bladen,〔Parish Registers for Egginton, Derbyshire〕 a yeoman of Newton Solney in Derbyshire and was sent to London with his younger brother Richard to undertake an apprenticeship in 1602.〔Records of the Stationers Company〕 Records for the Stationers Company show him being freed from his apprenticeship on 7 May 1610〔Apprentices and Freemen of the Company of Stationers of London 1562-1640〕 after which he began trading in his own right at St Paul's Churchyard in London, under the sign of the Bible next to the great door of St Paul's.〔H.R. Plomer: A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers from 1641-67〕 Some of the early publications he printed were in partnership with John Royston.〔British Library record for Enchiridion Medicum, 1612〕 His former apprenticeship master, Arthur Johnson,〔A Dictionary of Members of the Dublin Book Trade 1550-1800; based on the Records of the Guild of St Luke the Evangelist, Dublin, Mary Pollard, 2000〕 went to Ireland in 1624〔Stationers Company Court Book C, p167〕 on behalf of the Stationers Company who wanted to establish an outlet in Dublin and, by 1626,〔Bladens in Ireland, by Karen Proudler, 2015, ISBN 978-0-9566831-7-5〕 William left London and took his family to Dublin.
