I don't believe that William Wilberforce, Anglican Evangelical and founder of the British Abolitionist movement in Parliament, ever did become a Catholic. His son, however, Henry William Wilberforce did convert to Catholicism in 1850 after serving as an Anglican cleric for nearly 17 years. It is believed that he followed his wife into the Catholic church - though one of his benefactors in the Anglican church was John Henry (Cardinal) Newman, who discovered his own alignment with Catholic doctrine and dogma while authoring an extended series of "tracts" against them.
