This family is listed on rootsweb data base of Theresa KOEHLER dated 2001. Data base name is ah3387. She is listing Mary's surname as HYNES. and James is listed as James W MILLS. The family seems to be, as I consider, in a circle of family. MILLS married DINGWELL, She has 395 DINGWELL family members listed. So I would have to say, that is the core family that she is of primary interest. The MILLS part is just an aside to them. Only has 51 family members listed. DINGWELL married other surnames. But again, they also married to each other, and back to the MILLS also. Most of her MILLS are connected through James via one of the many of surnames she has listed on her data base. If not, they are all in the same general area, locality. So most likely are related in some way back to James and Mary. Maybe you all have already checked it, and that is as far as you can do for now. If not, then I hope some of what she has posted might be of benefit??

I am a descendent of James Mills, also of Suffolk, England. While I know it is a stretch, I am wondering if perhaps there is any relation. James was born 1801 and came to Prince Edward Island before 1826. He married Mary Hines/Heids before 1825. James died 2 Jan 1889 and was buried in Egglington, PEI.
