He left Paris for London during the Revolution of 1848, working for French emigree goldsmiths J-V Morel & Co. On returning to Paris, Willms worked for Christofle & Cie and F-D Froment-Meurice on designs for their exhibits at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851. For Elkington, his 'Graeco Pompeian' Dessert Service, one of many of his works displayed on the firm's stand at the London International Exhibition in 1862, proved highly popular, leading to the award of the Exhibition Medal at the London International Exhibition of 1862. In particular, the lightness and originality of the strictly classical design provided Elkington with the ideal opportunity to display the Birmingham firm's mastery of the traditional skills of the goldsmith's art combined with its latest technical innovations such as electro-gilding and forming The Art Journal described the Service in glowing terms "A very notable feature in the contributions of Messrs Elkington was a magnificent Dessert Service, designed by A Willms, in the Pompeian style, and executed in silver, enriched with enamel and gold."

To raise funds for Manchester Charities, since the city was suffering as a result of the depressed state of the cotton trade, the music hall entertainer George Robey (1869-1954) organised a special charity match. One side was made up of City's 1904 FA cup winners, with Robey himself playing instead of striker Billy Gillespie, and the other of the 1907 team, including Norgrove, which won 4-3. The player's last first-team match was against Aston Villa on 16 September 1911, which is presumably the reason the 'Blue & White' programme for the day was retained with the other items. ++++
