William Wales (astronomer)
William Wales (1734? – 29 December 1798) was a British mathematician and astronomer.
==Early life==
Wales was born around 1734 to John and Sarah Wales and was baptised in Warmfield (near the West Yorkshire town of Wakefield) that year. As a youth, according to the historian John Cawte Beaglehole, Wales travelled south in the company of a Mr Holroyd, who became a plumber in the service of George III. By the mid-1760s, Wales was contributing to ''The Ladies' Diary''. In 1765 he married Mary Green, sister of the astronomer Charles Green.〔
In 1765, Wales was employed by the Astronomer Royal Nevil Maskelyne as a ''computer'', calculating ephemerides that could be used to establish the longitude of a ship, for Maskelyne's Nautical Almanac.
