William Ollis of Keynsham/Saltford

[clarksparks]

I would be grateful for help in finding the family, mother and possible siblings of William Ollis, brass worker.

I believe that his father was John Ollis, a brass worker.

Known facts:

William Ollis was born in Bristol Baptist Mill (Saltford) abt. 1803.

On 5 Jun 1824 he married Curtis Hippett at St. James Parish, Bristol (Film Number 1596541, Reference ID it2 vP p121 rn363).

They had 4 children.

He appears in the census of 1841 with Curtis and children. (Piece: 947, Book: 7, Folio: 25, Page Number: 16)

Curtis Ollis died in April 1849.

In 1851 - 71 census William is in Keynsham, Bristol with a different wife - Sarah.

On 1 Sep 1849 William Ollis (widower) married Sarah Whitfield (widow) at Bath, St James, Somerset. (Somerset Parish Records, 1538-1914; Reference Number: D\P\ba.ja/2/1/20)

Here the marriage register shows William’s father as John Ollis (Brass worker).

There's a John Pinker Ollis buried Saltford age 67 in 1847.  Finding him in 1841 and checking his occupation might be a lead.
