Nigel Williams: Bio Summary

How Old Is Susan Jameson’s Son, Nigel Williams?

Nigel Williams was born in the year 1960 but his full date of birth is unknown. He will be 63 years old after celebrating his birthday in 2023. English actress Susan I. M. Jameson is his mother. Nigel was first given the name Mark Jameson. The identity of his biological father is still a mystery.

Nigel Williams’ father is said to be a well-known actor. He has a half-sister called Lucy Bolam (b. 1977). Lucy is the daughter of Nigel’s mother Susan Jameson and her husband James Christopher Bolam. Nigel’s stepfather James Bolam is an English actor. Nigel attended grammar school in Wolverhampton. He studied theology at St Andrews.

At St Andrews, Nigel Williams “got a job playing piano locally and discovered the Edinburgh Festival and performing through that.”

Nigel Williams Was Adopted

Nigel Williams was adopted and his adoptive parents are Ken and Betty Williams. Ken Williams was a senior executive with a local authority in the West Midlands and Betty raised the family. Many years later, Nigel decided to establish contact with his biological parents. He admitted that he was aware his decision to contact his parents “wouldn’t be easy.”

Nigel Williams said: “Deciding I wanted to trace my birth parents wasn’t like switching on a light bulb, it was years and years of wondering – I can’t remember ever not knowing I was adopted, just like I can’t remember not playing the piano.” According to him, his adoptive parents, “Ken and Betty Williams, were very good about not hiding things.”

“But you have to be aware that I was adopted back in the bad old days, the dark ages when there was a stigma associated with being born out of wedlock and with being adopted, really. My siblings and I always knew we were loved but we also always knew we were different. And we knew we weren’t related.”

Nigel Williams said he “used to fantasise that my real parents were actors or musicians or artists. Something that would explain me and where I fitted in the world. Don’t get me wrong, my adoptive parents loved me and raised me and put a roof over my head and those of my brother and sister, who were also adopted.”

“But they were very strict and they had no time really for the arts or music, which I always loved and was good at. So I made up this version of my life story where my mum and dad were famous actors and one day I’d meet them and it would all make sense. Well I was half right.” He adds: “It turns out my parents had been on my telly, effectively in my house, all through my childhood.”

Nigel Williams revealed “It’s crazy. Looking back, it seems that my adoptive mother used to swoon over my father when he was on screen in the Seventies and now my kids know their granny from episodes of New Tricks – which is ironic given that her most recent storylines are all to do with reconciliation and family.”

Nigel Williams’ mother Susan Jameson once admitted that she has “no sense of being” Nigel’s mother. Susan had given Nigel up for adoption because she wanted to be an actress and was at the beginning of her career, per Daily Mail. Nigel and his mother Susan seem to have reconnected.
