Willis 1841
« on: Friday 04 August 06 16:22 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I have been tracing my Willis family and am now trying to find them on the 1841 census. I can find them on the 1851 but no sign in 1841. The father is Daniel Willis and wife ann sophia willis, both born around 1811. Their son Daniel was born in 1837 and ther may be another family member called Samuel. Any help with this would be great

Many Thanks

OK, given the ages and PoBs (from the 1851) of the kids old enough to be on the 1841, they should have been in the Kensington area  .... or the west side of Middx, but I cant see any of them at present.


Heres all the family from 1851 in Mortlake ..
