Michele,

William F Willis was married to Harriet in the 1881 and gave a birth year of 1853..... if this isn't your man do you know what your Williams occupation was?

Hi,

William F Jnr was born Aston, Warwickshire.

Looks like William Snr married Harriet Smith in 1878, and looking at the births there is a William Frederick Willis born Cheltenhma in 1856.

Hi Michelle,

looked again at the 1881 image and it states Rudman F D Willis, can only see this birth;

Births Mar 1879
Willis Frederick Rudman Aston 6d 455


It ties in though, they just switched the names around,

Hi Michelle,

I've just been looking for him and I can't see Harriett either. I'm slowing down now... getting tired, but I'll pick this back up tomorrow. So if you find him let me know.

Night, night Michelle,
