1926 Obituary [1]
'Cardiff has lost a notable citizen in the death of Councillor W. H. Renwick, which occurred on Monday. Mr Renwick, who was sixty-one years of age, was a native of Newcastle-on-Tyne, where he was born on January 7th, 1865 and where he was educated at the Royal Grammar School.
He entered into business with his brother, Sir George Renwick, as shipowner and shipbroker, and came to Cardiff in the early 'nineties to take charge of the local branch of Fisher, Renwick and Co.
He became closely identified with the patent fuel industry at Swansea, and since 1903 had devoted a large measure of time to municipal affairs, his services to the city being of exceptional value.'
