Willis family Barnard Castle

[CaroleW]

May I interupt - I thought the original query was to find the parents of Thomas Willis, Carole

It was - but we first have to find Thomas Willis to establish if you found the right IGI entry

So far - birthyear 1834 then 1825

I have just found this 1891 entry - dtr indexed as KATTIE

Thomas Willis 66 b Barnard Castle retired builder
Kittie E Willis 26 b Chicago Illinois

RG12 Piece 4079 Folio 105 Page 1

Now I am happy that it's the right IGI entry

Kittie Elizabeth Willis married James Henry Westcott in 1896

[Pels.]

Now I am happy that it's the right IGI entry

Best to mention, I found the information on the Family Search pilot site.

Thank you - yes, I questioned my original date at the time because I couldn't find the tree that I wanted. Certain that it's 25 now though. So any ideas on finding his parents?

There's this baptism in Barnard Castle :

Thomas Willis, 11th. August 1824
Parents : Joseph and Anne Willis
Barnard Castle


Kindest regards,

I'm hoping these are his parents - if you scroll the page slightly .. you should see my earlier reply.

Best wishes,

Pels.

Hi Dave,

You're too right! After my initially awful post I never expected such a good result.

Many thanks to Pels and CaroleW
