Hi thanks to all that help to reveal that my William WILLIS was born in Oct 17 1819 in Urchfont and that he had a sister Betty.  Their parents were William and Mary nee Long.  Betty married John Hale in 1835. I was hoping that someone could tell me further information such as did William and Mary have other children besides William and Betty?  Finally I would love to know Mary LONG parents names if it is at all possible.  Mary was born c. 1790 in Maddington Wiltshire. cheers colleen Make the switch to the world's best email.
