William Asker
William Asker (1806-?) was a Strict and Particular Baptist believer. He was a faithful member of the church meeting at Gower Street, London. His testimony, recorded in the Gospel Standard magazine (1882), is worth every minute of one’s time in the reading of it.

The Life And Testimony Of William Asker
I was born of very poor parents in the small village of Houghton, in Norfolk, Oct. 6, 1806. My father was a shepherd, and died ten weeks before I was born, which plunged my dear mother into much sorrow and distress. I had one sister, four years old at the time of my birth, and three other sisters; also one brother from home, but not able at that time of trouble to render any assistance to the poor widow.
