Mr. Wylīām Alī was born in 1887 in Lebanon. He had at least one brother, Ahmed Alī (1888 - April 15th, 1912).

Both brothers had emigrated in Buenos Aires, Pampas, Argentina where they established as farmers.

Wylīām ticket was 3101312, which cost him £7 1s. They boarded the ship in Southampton on Wednesday, April 10th, 1912. The Alī brothers perished in the sinking and, although Ahmed's body was not recovered, Wylīām's was. It was the 79th body recovered by the C.S. Mackay-Bennett. He was brought back to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and buried at Mount Olivet Cemetery on May 10th, 1912.
