The plea is that hopefully there is someone on the list whom is looking for the family of Philip Willis in Bristol, England circa 1820 - 30. He was my ggg grandfather and everytime I link into the family - children being baptised, I end up with another dead'un. Philip was a mariner, married to one Elizabeth Williams and I haven't been able to find this either - they had the following children: John Nicholas baptised St. Mary Redcliffe, Bristol 1821 died several months/years later. Thomas Robert baptised St. Mary Redcliffe, Bristol 1824 Jane Elizabeth baptised St. Mary Redcliffe, Bristol 1828 died 1833 John Nicholas baptised St. Mary Redcliffe, Bristol 1831 dies 1833 - he and Jane died within a week of each other. Problem....there is no other John Willis being baptised in St. Mary Redcliffe between 1833 - 1836 I have his marriage certificate stating parentage, occupation, age, place of birth......but can't find him. This information gives the date of birth as circa 1830... so if anyone has any suggestions - and links or ties..... please please please pass them on.....
