William Hillyard was born 5 December 1860 in Richmond, Utah. His parents were Thomas Hillyard (1831-1907) and Mary Ann Heaps (1831-1913). He married Emma Louisa Harper (1861-1936), daughter of Richard Harper (1827-1891) and Susann Faulkner (1827-1891), 15 October 1884 in Logan, Utah. They had five children. Ancestors, descendants and relatives lived mainly in England and Utah.
Published in The London Miscellany and written by William Heard Hillyard (1811-1870), this 22 chapter story must have been considered a guaranteed blockbuster with the newspaper{u2019}s intended reading audience. The Mysteries of a London Convent relies most immediately on the sensational categories that we saw delineated in The Mysteries of the Inquisition, as well as another and earlier penny dreadful production with an almost identical plot, Smiff{u2019}s The New Mysteries of London (1858), written in imitation of Reynolds{u2019}s blockbuster The Mysteries of London (1844-48).
