Hi all,
I'm back again with these martins, willis and willows.
My relative John Martin (originating from Cambridge) married a Diana Reed in 1830 in Boston Lincs. His profession was a chimney sweep.
There are 2 John Willis born around this time one in 1810 and one in 1812.
I have taken the 1810 John to be the correct one as his parents listed as
John and Mary, and John was a chimney sweep.
Siblings: Frederic 1813 Dec 30 son of John and Mary
Sarah 1814 June 11 dau John and Mary of Bull Lane chimney
sweeper buried 1814
Susanna 1817 Jul 19 dau of John and Mary chimney sweep
I obtained this info baptisms register on a recent visit to the Cambridge Archives.
11 Jan 1810 John Willis of John Mary Ely Holy Trinity. Cambridgeshire.
I also have a Robert Willows
24 Sep 1786 son of John Mary Fen Drayton Cambridgeshire.
I thought perhaps Robert and John were brothers or cousins.
I have got the discs for St Mary Ely, Holy Trinity Ely and now Fen Drayton
but cannot get a link. Dont want to have to buy them all.
There are lots of Willows around this time, most
have parents of John and Sarah and I can see only one for John and Mary as above.
Have also looked at the Cambridgeshire baptisms on line, but only one
John with parents of John and Mary.
So I am not sure whether my John (sen) originated in Cambridgeshire or not.
Any ideas or help would be much appreciated.
I dont really know what to look for now. As I dont even have a maiden name.
I think the Robert Willows to be the Robert Willis that married E Thurston
26 May 1811.
Thanks in advance
