Looking for parents of Susanna Willis in Ontario
« on: Sunday 28 July 19 15:14 BST (UK) »
I am looking for any information on the parentage of Susanna Willis born April 17, 1847 in Ontario. She died May 9, 1919 in Parry Sound. Her parents I think were born in Ireland (possible names Robert & Susannah Willis). Susanna married a Mr. Wilson and they had about 12 children. Her grandfather was possibly Sargeant John Willis. Thank you in advance.

This looks like Sargeant John Willis and everyone else in the 1851/2 census? Click on split view at the top to see the original image.

Susanna's marriage record should name her parents.
