Catin or Caton Willis in Ramsay, Ontario
« on: Sunday 05 April 20 18:59 BST (UK) »
I am looking for any information on a Catin or Caton Willis. He was born in Ireland in 1795. As a young man he settled in Ramsay on the outskirts of Carleton Place, Lanark County, Ontario. He died in Ramsay in 1869. The only other thing I know of this ancestor was that in 1836 his name appeared as a contributor to the Carleton Place fund for providing and operating a curfew bell and in 1845 he was a Church Warden of St. James Church. Unfortunately I do not know if he was married or had children. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

1861 Census shows that all of the children listed were born in Canada. The eldest at home is Sarah, aged 22, so immigration prior to 1839.

Sorry, wrong father in this marriage.  As all of the Willis families seem to be related, some time could be spent working out the different family lines.
