Are Lucy and Ann related to Arthur Clevedon Willis and others who were baptised in Boldre?

[Merry]

Welcome to the site, Seldon.

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question offhand, though the answer is probably yes, if the Willis parent of Arthur Clevedon Willis was from the same area. We have not don't much sideways and forwards tracing from Ann Willis.

[Merry]

Yours must be the posh branch if Arthur's father was a RN captain! All our lot were ag labs!! (Where was dad from?)

[Merry]

Oh, Arthur's dad was from Bedfordshire, so probably no connection :(
