He had a sister they called Weeza I'm thinking short for Louisa she was the one with the afro hair.I have gone back quite a way on the Tills side to Jonh Tills and Sarah Mapes I think it is 3 generations from Charles and Louisa but then get stuck.

As Ellen was born pre-marriage of Louisa to Charles - there being no indication that Charles Tills is the father of Ellen - the ‘Afro hair’ would be coming from Ellen and, therefore, the LEE side.

It also means that your father may not of the Tills bloodline, but of Lee (mother) and unknown (father).

Oh or who ever was the father I guess?
I didn't realise. Would the father be named on the birth certificate ?

I’ve got myself totally confuddled now.  :o

Trixi says her ancestor Lilian May Tills, daughter of Charles and Roseanna, was dark-skinned. So, for that family it’s either from Tills or Durrant.

But Charles is still Ellen's half brother so Louisa Lee is still both their Granma is that right?
