William Wills - Innkeeper
« on: Thursday 30 June 05 13:45 BST (UK) »
Hello,

Sorry in advance! New to all this.

Searching for William Willis.  Recorded on marraige cert of Son Thomas to Jane Lander. married at Yarnscombe, great torrington. devon. 21 june 1838

William Willis, Innkeeper.

How can I find out which Inn it was?  can't find Jane and Thomas on the 1861 census either.

Their daughter, Mary Jane Willis, born 26 feb 1838 and later married(?) Holland Sanders (cannot find proof of marraige) and lived at Peters Marland, devon.

Really hit a frustrating brick wall on this one.......any ideas?
