I am looking for some information on John W Wills. I have him as the son of Herbert Edwin Wills b1874 Woolwich Kent & Alice Mary Bailey born 1883 Dover Kent. I think he married Olive Sims Sep Qtr 1929 and had three children Ronald R born 1932 Kenneth G born 1935 and Sylvia O born 1936. Nothing really confirmed other than the BMD site. Any help would be appreciated

Kind regards
Julia

There is no way anyone on here can confirm your research unless they know of the family already!. Have you checked Search Trees for possible matches? Otherwie you will have to buy the marriage cert I think.

This might be his father's death as there is a probate entry on Ancestry - I don't have higher level membership to access but someone else will have a look I am sure -

Have you brought the marriage of 1929?
Would he have moved to Kent whilst his mum moved to Devon??

Sorry have only just replied but time difference here and had to go but thank you for what you have done for me.
With regard to the move to Devon. I know Herbert was born in Woolwich Kent - married in Dover Kent 1904 John William was born in 1907 Ireland and within four years the family were visiting in Hampshire. I have the death of Alice's brother in 1916 the address for this family was 13 East Street Dorset. Then the death of Herbert in 1922 Dorset.
I then looked for the marriage for John William and found one in 1929 Dartford Kent to Olive Sims.
TOTALLY WRONG with the children above, have just had another thorough look and found there are two Olive Sims, one married to a Reginald Hubert Wills (strange coincidence I thought) and the other to John. Also I found the
birth of Bevan R Wills to John & Olive in 1935 but sadly also a death in 1943 in Middlesex (7).
Reginald Hubert Wills was born 1900 Kent, do you think you could look up the1901 Census for me please to see if he is a connection to mine as I know Hubert had nine siblings.
Kind regards

Thank you Vera, much appreciated. I don't think there is a connection as I have the parents names as John Wills and Charlotte Grundy. I think I am going to have to let this one go now and just accept there is no line to carry on. Such a shame as they would have been my second cousins.
