Descendants of Robert Willis b.1845
« on: Saturday 17 March 18 15:13 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking for any descendants of Robert Willis and Jane Ann(nee Hand) both born in 1845 him in Northumberland and her in County Durham. They had the following children Thomas b 1866, Francis b 1869, Isabella b 1871, Catherine Ellen b 1873, Rachael b 1877 and Jane Ann b1880. All born in Northumberland England They emigrated to Canada around 1890. Robert was my Great, great Uncle and I would love to find out what happened to them.
