Peter Morton-Williams obituary


My husband Peter Morton-Williams, who has died aged 95, was a former pro-vice chancellor of Ulster University and an eminent anthropologist. He also wrote many academic papers and some books about aspects of West African society, including An Outline of the Cosmology and Cult Organization of the Oyo Yoruba (1964). Peter was born in Sandbach, Cheshire, the son of a clergyman, the Rev David Morton-Williams, and Kate (nee Turner), a teacher. Peter and I met in Ghana and married in 1963. We left Ghana in 1977 and Peter took up a post as head of sociology and social anthropology at Ulster University, Coleraine, where he later became pro-vice chancellor.
