Hi Edith, I have two William's in my family tree - my GGG Grandfather was married to a Jemima Lees and my GGGG Grandfather married a Rebecca Millington. However William and Jemima had a son, also christened William who was christened in Donnington Wood on the 14th October 1857 - I have no other information that that at present. Could this be your William do you think?

Do you have any information about his wife or children, my William was married to Sally Coffman. I have a large amount of information for someone who is a connection.

Heather, I have nothing on my William as to dates of birth or death. However I show one of his son's was born in 1887 in Palmer, Missouri.(Washington Co.) That would put your William at about 30 years old at that time which isn't out of the ordinary. My William had 12 children with Sally Coffman: Silas Job, John Robert (known as Jack),Jim Henry possibly John Henry, Harry & Carrie twins, Lucy, Bessie, Goldie,Walter, Lawrence,Jesse, and Hester.John Robert stayed in Missouri all his life but the other children ended up in west Tennessee. I have pictures, spouses and their decendants but I just can't find anything at all on William or Sally. The sad thing is if I did find something on them I would have no way to verify since I know so little about them.
