Bill was born in Brisbane on 27 January 1936 in Australia. In 1963, he entered The Salvation Army Officer Training College as a cadet in the Heroes of the Faith session Sydney.
After Commissioning, Lieutenant Bill Hambleton married Marie Sampson on 15 January 1966 and they ministered together in officership. They were blessed with two children – Lisa and Andrew.

Following retirement in December 1994, Bill and Marie moved to Queensland where they continued to be involved in ministry.
